Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 15: Delivering a powerful message of unity and compassion, Abhay Bhutada Foundation has announced a contribution of ₹8 crore to support flood-affected regions across Maharashtra. Of this, ₹5 crore has been donated to the Maharashtra Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, to aid immediate relief and rehabilitation efforts following the devastating floods that struck several parts of the state.
Entrepreneur, philanthropist and Chairman of the Abhay Bhutada Foundation, CA Abhay Bhutada, personally handed over a cheque of ₹5 crore to the Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis, in Mumbai. Expressing heartfelt gratitude, Mr. Fadnavis acknowledged the significance of this gesture, emphasizing how such contributions strengthen the government’s ongoing rehabilitation initiatives.
In addition to the donation made to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, the foundation has also extended ₹3 crore in aid to local organizations actively working in the flood-hit districts of Marathwada. The objective of this support is to help farmers and families rebuild their homes, livelihoods, and hope after suffering severe losses in the floods.
Speaking about the initiative, CA Abhay Bhutada said:
“Social contribution is not merely a duty — it’s a calling that comes from within. Having been born in Latur, one of the districts worst affected by the floods, this tragedy feels deeply personal to me. Our farmers and communities are resilient, but they need our collective support to stand tall again. I urge every citizen of Maharashtra to come forward and contribute wholeheartedly to this cause.”

With a focus on long-term transformation and sustainability, the foundation has positively impacted the lives of over 500,000 people across India.
