Houston, TX: Venkat Chundi, CEO, and Dr. Radhakishore, Director, of Centillion Networks Pvt. Ltd., and HC Robotics, contributed ₹25 lakhs ($30,000) towards Sewa International's Kashmir Relief Efforts. Dr. Radhakishore handed over the check at Sewa's Delhi office to Global Coordinator, Shyam Parande, and Executive Director, Jinesh Lal.
Venkat Chundi said, “What we have offered is just a drop in the ocean. But even a drop can create ripples, reinforcing the commitment to meaningful action.” Expressing gratitude, Shyam Parande said, “We sincerely thank Shri. Venkat Chundi and Dr. Radhakishore, for their kindness and commitment to the welfare of humanity, as it strengthens our mission to serve those in need.” The donation supports Sewa's “Rising from Terror” campaign, launched in Houston on May 14. The campaign provides relief to families affected by recent terrorist violence along the India- Pakistan border. The initiative delivers emergency aid, trauma support, and rehabilitation services to affected communities in Jammu Kashmir.
The ₹25 lakh contribution will help rebuild homes, provide essential supplies, and support families displaced by the conflict. One rebuilt home costs ₹125,000 ($1,500), while ration and utility kits cost ₹8,000 ($100) per family.
Centillion Networks also launched a matching program. For every ₹100 contributed by employees, Venkat Chundi personally matches it with another ₹100. This program deepens employee engagement and scales the impact of their giving.
Sewa International and Centillion Networks announced a CSR partnership to support long-term development projects in Jammu Kashmir. The partnership was inaugurated at Sewa's Delhi office with Dr. Radhakishore, Shyam Parande, Jinesh Lal, and the Sewa team in attendance. This collaboration combines Centillion's technical expertise with Sewa's grassroots experience.
Together, they aim to implement targeted programs for recovery and rebuilding in conflict- affected areas.
The recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam and the following India-Pakistan military engagement displaced thousands and left families struggling to survive. People have lost homes, livelihoods, and access to necessities. The situation remains tense.
Sewa is working with partner groups to provide ration kits, medical aid, trauma counseling, and shelter. Teams are arranging safe travel for stranded victims and tourists. Community kitchens and health camps are also active in the region.
Executive Director Jinesh Lal said, “With 25 years of experience in disaster response, we remain committed to timely and transparent aid. While the government works to restore order, voluntary groups must step in to address immediate gaps.”
He added that Sewa will continue to provide shelter, repair damaged homes, and distribute essential supplies based on local needs. Sewa is also conducting needs assessments to plan further interventions.
