Many private schools are unable to run the institutions, as students have quit education and school owners are not able to pay salaries to the teachers. We decided to help such teachers in distress.”

“We launched our Covid relief work in 2020 by addressing the needs of essential service personnel such as hospital staff, police, BBMP sweepers and garbage collectors as well as stranded migrant workers and slum dwellers. We distributed food packets to them. This year also we are continuing our relief work,” said Narayan Rao Mane.
“During the second wave of the pandemic, we delivered more than 8,000 meals (hygienically prepared and nutritious meals) to home isolated patients in quarantine. Our volunteers distributed the food by visiting the slums, migrant workers camp and hospitals,” added Sri Anand.
