Manipur Distress Relief Work : Phase 1
The Ramakrishna Mission, Imphal, conducted the First Phase of its ongoing Manipur Refugee/Distress Relief Work, from 10 May to 20 July, 2023.
Relief items, worth more than 70 lakh rupees, consisting of dry ration, bedding & clothing, toiletries, utensils, food supplements for infants & mothers, etc. were provided to over 120 relief camps, sheltering more than 18,000 affected people, from 5700 families, in 5 districts, Bishnupur, Imphal East, Imphal West, Kakching and Thoubal.
For Phase-2, as per the resources at our disposal, we will try to continue our outreach and serve the afflicted, especially, the children and nursing/expectant mothers. Efforts are also being made to arrange for some educational support to the displaced students. We also intend to procure warm clothing & thick blankets to distribute to as many affected families as possible, before the winter sets in.
The Ramakrishna Mission, founded in 1897 by Swami Vivekananda, is a worldwide, non-political, non-sectarian spiritual organization which has been engaged in various forms of humanitarian, social service activities for more than 125 years.
Inspired by the ideals of renunciation and service, the Mission serves millions of men, women and children, without any distinction of caste, creed, race or religion of beneficiaries, in a spirit of worship to ‘Living Gods’ as per the dictum of Swami Vivekananda, ‘Service to Man is Service to God’.
We pray to almighty God that peace & harmony may prevail amongst us all.
