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.
