Introduction
Ice Bucket Challenge which is popular now on Internet is an activity which was first started around April 26th,2014 involving taking a dip in cold watered river or donating to the ALS Association in the United States, if failed to take up the challenge! Since getting into river is dangerous, the rules were changed to an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on one's head by June 30th,2014.
Ice Bucket Challenge went viral on social media and became a pop culture phenomenon, particularly in the United States, with numerous celebrities, politicians, athletes, and everyday Americans posting videos of themselves online and on TV, participating in the event.
On August 18, 2014, the ALS Association announced that it had received $15.6 million in donations compared to $1.8 million during the same time period (July 29 to August 18) in the prior year.

Rules
Within 24 hours of being challenged, participants are to video record themselves in continuous footage. First, they are to announce their acceptance of the challenge followed by pouring ice into a bucket of water. The bucket is then to be lifted overhead and poured over the participant's head. Then the participant can call out a challenge to other people.

A common stipulation is that nominated people have 24 hours to comply or forfeit by way of a charitable financial donation which is to donate $10 if they have poured the ice water over their head and donate $100 if they have not.
Proposal
In India, we ourselves have many charitable trusts and NGO's which are in need of some support.
Ice Bucket Challenge which is expanding through out the world now, can be both fun to ourselves and doing good to our Nation's needy.
So, if the nominated people accept the challenge, they will have to challenge Three others first and then film their video while participating in the action, within 24 hours of acceptance. If the nominated people fail to take up the challenge, they can donate to any charitable trust in India of their wish, before ending the chain. Even those who have accepted the challenge can donate, based on their interest.
