Rajasthan Royals is
pleased to announce a contribution of INR 7.5 Crores (over $1mn) towards Covid
Relief to help with immediate support to people in India impacted by the surge
of Covid-19 virus.
Players along with the team
owners and team management have come forward to raise funds and have been
working along with the Rajasthan Royals' philanthropic arm Royal Rajasthan
Foundation (RRF) in partnership with the British Asian Trust (BAT).
BAT works closely with the Indian
Government on many initiatives – especially in the area of skills and
education. The Trust’s founder, Prince Charles, launched an emergency
"Oxygen for India" appeal, which is currently focused on acquisition
and distribution of oxygen concentrators, devices that can provide
the enriched gas straight from the air, to treat patients when hospital supplies
are under strain.
The funds raised by Rajasthan Royals
will help pan India, with an initial focus on the state of Rajasthan,
where the RRF, Chaired by Ranjit Barthakur, has numerous initiatives it
continues to support.
Having the team owners and
its players come together has enabled this initiative to reach the scale it
has, providing aid to tackle the current crisis and help people get the single
most pressing necessity at this time - Oxygen.
