Hyderabad, January 24-25, 2016: QNET, one of Asia’s direct selling leaders and pioneers in e-commerce, reiterated its support to the Chennai flood victims at IIFA Utsavam, announcing a generous contribution of Rs. 75 Lakhs to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.
The donation made under QNET India’s CSR initiative QNET - WE CARE was handed over in the presence of Mr. T Srinivas Yadav, Minister for Commercial Taxes and Cinematography, State of Telangana, at the glittering awards function with an apt theme of ‘Be1forChennai’
IIFA Utsavam is the first of its kind awards ceremony from the IFFA stable to honour South Indian Film talent - both young and the veterans. Being held for the first time in Hyderabad, this year’s theme has been dedicated to the Chennai flood relief and has got wholehearted support from the entire South Indian film industry. Partnering in this event as an Associate Sponsor, the theme strongly echoes QNET’s philosophy of Raise Yourself To Help Mankind.
QNET - WE CARE is a CSR initiative of QNET in India, which supports causes of the underprivileged members of society in various areas right from health of individuals of destitute adults to supporting victims of natural disasters and more. In fact, two weeks ago, QNET - WE CARE in association with Lions Dist. 317 F Service Foundation had distributed basic household relief kits to 200 families at Meenambakkam, Chennai. These families’ homes had been washed away in the floods and were extremely grateful to receive kits that included sheets, mats, cooking pots, and other basic household items. QNET in India has also been actively promoting sports for the physically challenged, an often neglected area.
QNET - WE CARE works with credible NGOs and associations like Lion’s Club to ensure effective implementation of its CSR initiatives. The company encourages active involvement of all its employees for on-ground activities of many of its initiatives. QNET internationally has been working extensively to cater to the needs of homeless and destitute as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.
