New Delhi: Hemkunt Foundation on Monday announced the onboarding of Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh as a Goodwill Ambassador.

The foundation played a significant role during the pandemic and in the lives of marginalized communities in terms of poverty alleviation.

As a youth icon and an individual who feels passionately about education and giving back to society, Ranveer will encourage and empower the youth of India to take an active part in helping the underprivileged. He will be closely associated with the sustainable development of HF Gurukul - India’s largest not-for-profit skill development center,” a statement said.
