He has also helped over 3,000 houses in India with Solar power for their homes

>> As the suicides grew, distressed farmers from Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, among other places, were identified and summoned. In the presence of the representatives of their respective banks, their loans were paid off. Each farmer was given the document that declared they did not owe any more money.

Around 30 buses were also booked to help them commute to various locations in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, along with food and water supply for the journey.
>> Big B wrote on his blog: “Booked an entire train from Mumbai to UP to carry 2,800 migrant passengers free of cost at my expense ... and when the destination states blocked the tarin from coming into their state and cancelled the train, immediately chartered three Indigo Airline planes and flew almost 180 migrants in each flight to UP and Bihar and some to Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir.”
>> He added: “And as the virus spread, donated an entire Diagnostic Centre at Bangla Sahib Gurudwara in Delhi to provide medical to the poor and needy through the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee. An MRI machine and other Sonographic and Scan equipment of expenses beyond my means were set up in the memory of my nana, naani, and my mother.”
