Every month the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Belgaum is distributing raw food items to 75 poor families under the ‘Dravya Yajna’ scheme. The distribution for the month of August was done on Sunday, 2nd August, 09.

Srimat Swami Veetabhayanandaji Maharaj (President, Ramakrishna Math, Ulsoor, Bangalore), Sri Swami Dharmatmanandaji Maharaj (President, Ramakrishna Math, Kanchipuram) & Swami Amareshanandaji Maharaj (Senior Monk, Ramakrishna Math, Kankhal) distributed the food items.

The total cost of providing food relief to one family comes to Rs. 400 per month. That makes the total expenditure in providing relief to 75 families to Rs. 30,000/- per month.

The food items consisting of 5 kg rice, 5 kg wheat flour, 1 kg edible oil & 1 kg lentils (dal) are being given to these families on monthly basis for a period of 1 year. The beneficiaries are asked to come & collect the monthly ration on a specified date. They are also provided with a photo identity card & a cloth bag to collect the food items which they have to carry when they come again to collect the next months ration.

Also, on the day of the distribution the recipients & those who accompany them are served cooked prasada sumptuously 

We have given below few photographs of the distribution programme.
