Imphal, June 15 2021:
The Art of Living Manipur organised a one day Covid vaccination drive at 1st MR Ground in Imphal today, said a statement of The Art of Living.
Nearly 300 people, mainly daily wage earners, got their first dose of Covid vaccine at the drive.
Member of Parliament, Dr Rk Ranjan, who visited the venue of the vaccination drive, lauded the efforts of the Art of Living to make the vaccine available for the weaker section of the society.
He also emphasised the need for such drives to ensure that the whole population of the country is vaccinated by December as desired by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
Sharing the vision behind organising the vaccination drive, Binod Kumar Sethi, Apex Body member of the Art of Living said the drive was a part of various Covid relief activities the Art of Living has been doing across the country.
"Inspired by our founder Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the Art of Living and its sister arm International Association for Human Values (IAHV) swung into action to provide medical, material and emotional support to people in distress as the second wave of the pandemic peaked in India and health infrastructure came under severe strain", he said.

He also revealed the Art of Living Manipur has been conducting a series of Covid Care Protocol programmes for different categories of people in Manipur to boost their immunity, improve their mental resilience and bring a semblance of peace.
"As part of the initiative, 2000 children and young adults are getting equipped with immunity enhancement techniques in association with the Social Welfare Department of the State", he added.
He also said similar programmes would also be conducted for other frontline workers while adding that the Art of Living would also provide Ayurveda based Immunity Enhancement Supplements to such frontline workers.
The Art of Living has also started an Anxiety Helpline to help the people of Manipur in coping with the anxiety and distress arising out of the current humanitarian crisis.
Anyone who is experiencing anxiety can call the number: 7005658504 to get advice and guidance on mental well being from Art of Living counsellors.
