Besides Ms Seth and Mr Tendulkar, dignitaries such as former Mumbai Police chief Rakesh Maria and income tax commissioner Sumant Sinha have supported the cause.
Ms Seth said, "It is a great pleasure for me to be associated with such a noble cause. If these Rs One lakh can save someone's life, then I think it is the best use of money. Sachin Tendulkar is also supporting the cause and I hope lots of people come ahead and support it."
