While people all across the country are coming forward with cheques and resources to help Kerala resume back to its glory, there are many benefactors who are donating their talent to help raise funds for the event. Artist Manoj Maurya from Mumbai is donating his paintings to fundraise for Kerala Flood victims.

He has also worked towards social inclusion of blind audience in the mainstream cinema by creating multisensory films that enhance the cinema experience for the blind audience.
“I firmly believe that creative problem solving should penetrate across social political and economic landscape of the country. Not only the solutions will be innovative but amicable too which will make the solutions sustainable.” As a part of his another social innovation, he has undertaken a road trip of 17000km in 55 days to 22 states of India where he has interviewed more than 2.5lakhs people right from bureaucrats, social workers, writers, artists, students, farmers, housewives, spiritual leaders on designing new India in the twenty-first century. His research his compiled in the form of documentary films.
