Live-athon;

23
states.
It
is

homes.
To

And
to
raise

have
no
work
and

home
and
do
not
know
where
their
next
meal
is
coming
from.

four-hour-long
concert

Ajit
Mohan,
Vice
President,
and
Managing
Director,
Facebook
India,
said,
"As
a
company,
Facebook
is
committed
to
being
an
ally
for
India
as
the
country
fights
the
coronavirus
outbreak.
Our
efforts
so
far
have
been
focused
on
providing
access
to
accurate
health
information
and
supporting
communities
around
the
country.
We
recently
launched
Facebook
Fundraisers,
that
allow
people
to
leverage
the
full
scale
and
power
of
the
platform,
and
their
passion,
to
direct
resources
to
initiatives
that
can
protect
and
save
lives.
We're
grateful
to
the
creators,
celebrities,
and
publishers
participating
in
the
'Social
For
Good'
Live-athon
to
drive
the
fundraisers.
The
'I
for
India'
concert
is
the
grand
finale
of
these
efforts,
featuring
well-known
artists
and
influencers."
Atul
Satija,
CEO,
GiveIndia,
said:
"The
I
For
India
fundraiser
concert,
backed
by
a
fabulous
line
up
of
stars,
really
feels
like
a
nation
coming
together
-
though
we
are
isolated,
we
are
united
in
our
efforts
to
win
this
battle
against
COVID_19.
We
have
already
received
tremendous
support
for
our
missions
to
provide
humanitarian
aid
to
those
most
affected
by
this
crisis,
particularly
migrant
workers
and
daily
wagers.
But
with
the
concert-going
live
on
the
world's
largest
social
media
platform,
it
will
help
reach
the
millions
of
people
who
want
to
contribute
to
this
war-like
effort.
We
are
extremely
grateful
to
the
organizers
for
putting
their
trust
in
us
as
the
donations
partner."
The
event
is
produced
by
Fountainhead
MKTG.
V
G
Jairam,
Co-Founder,
Fountainhead
MKTG
said
"It
is
a
matter
of
great
pride
for
us
at
Fountainhead
MKTG
to
work
with
the
world's
largest
film
industry,
the
world's
largest
social
network,
and
India's
biggest
giving
platform
to
pioneer
an
entertainment-with-purpose
format
that
is
India's
biggest
home-to-home
concert
featuring
over
85
large
global
celebrities
across
genres.
This
show
has
been
produced
in
a
record
two
weeks.
We
hope
everyone
enjoys
the
show
and
donates
wholeheartedly.
We
are
all,
truly,
in
this
together."
Here's
a
preview
of
just
some
key
voices
from
the
concert:
Priyanka
Chopra
"Unexpected,
uncontrolled,
unparalleled.
The
coronavirus
has
forged
a
brutal
path
across
the
world,
and
in
the
line
of
fire
is
well
-
you
me
and
pretty
much
everyone
across
the
world.
Lockdowns,
quarantines,
social
distancing
-
yeh
hain
humara
naya
normal.
Khud
ko
surakshit
rakhne
ke
liye
hume
ek
dusre
se
dur
rehna
pad
raha
hai
Phir
bhi
mann
hi
mann
main
hum
ek
saath
hain,
as
always."
Anushka
Sharma
'While
we
may
be
social
distancing,
and
that's
the
requirement,
I
don't
think
we've
ever
been
more
connected.
People
helping
each
other,
spreading
awareness
just
so
that
we
can
protect
each
other
and
that
is
the
victory
of
human
spirit'
Rani
Mukerji
'Instances
of
child
abuse
have
increased
during
lockdown.
I
urge
you
all
to
stay
more
vigilant.
If
you
see
or
hear
anything
suspicious
or
odd
please
report
it
to
the
authorities
immediately.
My
daughter
Adira
calls
this
coronavirus
an
invisible
monster
lurking
in
the
streets,
she
tells
me
mamma,
this
monster
will
surely
go
away
one
day.'
Anoushka
Shankar
'Humans
have
an
incredible
capacity
for
hope
and
resilience,
and
finding
new
ways
to
help
others
who
need
more
than
we
do.
Every
end
is
a
new
beginning'
Zoya
Akhtar
'May
we
remember
the
lessons
learnt
and
never
forget
we
aren't
above
nature,
we're
just
a
small
part
of
it.'
Shabana
Azmi
'It's
time
we
realised
how
interdependent
we
are
on
each
other.
Irrespective
of
caste,
class,
gender,
religion
or
country.
It's
time
for
introspection.
It's
time
to
shed
our
prejudices,
it's
time
to
come
together
in
kinship
and
harmony.'
Katrina
Kaif
-
"There
are
1000s
of
frontliners
and
emergency
workers
who
are
putting
their
lives
on
the
line
every
day
in
the
fight
against
COVID_19.
Every
rupee
we
collect
today
will
help
equip
these
heroes
better
thus
protect
them
better.
So
please
help
keep
safe
those
who
keep
us
safe."
