YSS solar lights in Puri flood-hit villages

Members of the Yogada Satsanga Society (YSS) of India, established in 1917 under the charisma of Sri Sri Parmahansa Yoganananda, distributed eco-friendly solar lights to flood-affected families in seven villages of Gop and Nimapada blocks in Puri district. The members sought suggestions of Chief Secretary Suresh Chandra Mahapatra regarding the relief materials’ distribution. Mahapatra told them that safe shelter, dry and cooked food, medicine, polythene, animal feed, etc., had been distributed as emergency relief as per the direction of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. Now, in post-flood scenario, the process for distribution of house repair assistance and crop loss assistance is going on.
