OBJECTIVES

The basic aim of The Times of India Relief Fund is to organise relief and carry on rehabilitation measures in times of calamities and disasters so as to mitigate human sufferings, alleviate distress and losses arising out of calamities such as floods, cyclones, fires, earthquakes, droughts, famines, wars, hostilities, riots, epidemics and other miseries affecting people in any part of India and to provide financial and other assistance to them.
To give aid to construct, re-construct repair and make hospitable dwellings and structures for those in need.
To establish any welfare project and to assist, affiliate and establish connections with other institutions having similar objects and/or help them in providing aid to the victims.
To give financial aid or otherwise to individuals, agencies, trusts, relief organisations etc. dealing with calamities in any part of India.
To incur expenses including educational scholarships, establishing educational institutions, health care centres, community centres, medical assistance, assistance for humanitarian work, project financing and assistance aimed at humanitarian and social uplift as well as other welfare activities to improve the quality of life.
To provide for food, medicine, clothing, financial assistance and other needs to the victims of the calamity.
To receive donations raised under the name and style of "The Times of India Relief Fund" and also through the various offices of Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd., in response to the appeal published in our newspapers and websites for funds to afford relief and to make disbursements from the donations received.
Last but not the least, our aim is to give a lasting relief to people in distress and provide for their economic and social upliftment (and not necessarily an immediate/short term help for which most other relief organizations work for). Any immediate support required is being now provided through reliable NGOs known for their relief projects.
