Premji described the pandemic as a once-in-a-century event and resolved to fight it with all available resources. He said that in its initial days itself, a plan had been prepared to fight this epidemic on the humanitarian and health aspect.
Azim Premji has committed to give his entire assets worth more than $ 80 billion to charitable works. He has a special emphasis on education.
