As the coronavirus pandemic and perennial flood engulfs Assam this year, Assamese all over the world are determined to extend their help and stand along the ones who are affected. This extraordinary situation has impacted the Assamese artistes hard especially financially; it has impacted their lives and livelihoods. These artistes from Assam are the lifeline of traditional Assamese culture and we feel proud of their performance in world stage.

ShilpiSewa are spearheading a fundraising drive, uniting Assamese diaspora from all over the globe, to stand by our brothers and sisters in our homeland Assam. This is a collective effort to stand by our people in this terrible time of COVID-19 pandemic and perennial flood situation. This fundraising campaign is being coordinated with Star Artistes of Assam, News Media and entrepreneurs and Music entities from Assam along with Assamese community members of North America. Shilpisewa will not keep any of the community contribution from this fundraiser and plans to donate the entire amount to artistes from Assam, the beneficiaries of this fundraiser event, all the expenses, which are minimal, are covered by volunteers of Shilpi Sewa.
