The popular YouTuber’s charity livestream mobilized fans nationwide to support flood-hit Assam, with all funds going to NDRF relief efforts.
CarryMinati’s Charity Livestream Raises ₹13 Lakh for Assam Flood Relief
Introduction
Popular Indian YouTuber and gaming streamer CarryMinati, whose real name is Ajey Nagar, once again used his massive online following for a good cause. He hosted a charity livestream on his gaming channel, CarryisLive, dedicated to raising funds for people affected by the devastating floods in Assam. The stream ran for around eight hours and concluded with a final collection of ₹13,03,937.
How the Livestream Unfolded
CarryMinati announced the charity stream on Instagram, telling his followers to join him on CarryisLive at 8 PM to support flood-affected states. The stream began at 8 pm on Tuesday and continued for approximately eight hours, with CarryMinati playing online games alongside other participants while encouraging viewers to donate.
Viewers were able to contribute through a UPI payment link, with donations appearing as on-screen Super Chats during the broadcast. As the numbers climbed in real time, fans across the country tuned in to be part of the relief effort.
Where the Money Is Going
According to the caption on the YouTube livestream, all donations collected during the stream would be sent to the NDRF (National Disaster Response Force) through BharatKosh. Viewers making direct contributions through BharatKosh were instructed to select the Ministry of Home Affairs and choose “Contribution-Grants to NDRF” as the purpose of payment.
The Scale of the Assam Flood Crisis
The urgency behind the fundraiser stems from a serious flood situation in the region. Around 4.45 lakh people remain affected across six districts, with the flood death toll for the year standing at 68, according to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority. Charaideo has emerged as the worst-hit district, with more than 1.88 lakh people affected, followed closely by Sivasagar and Jorhat. Close to 28,700 displaced residents are currently housed in relief camps, while homes, roads, farmland, and other infrastructure have sustained significant damage.
“Content creation cannot always be a commercial proposition centered on one’s own advantage — there always needs to be a give-back-to-society element.” — CarryMinati
CarryMinati’s Personal Contribution
Beyond mobilizing his fanbase, CarryMinati also pledged ₹2 lakh from his own pocket toward the relief effort, publicly thanking his viewers, donors, and team members who helped make the fundraiser a success.
A Pattern of Giving Back
This isn’t the first time CarryMinati has stepped up during a crisis. He has a track record of hosting charity streams for causes ranging from disaster relief to accident victims, using his massive subscriber base — one of the largest in India — to channel goodwill into real financial impact.
Conclusion
