‘DRAVYA YAJNA’ (Distribution of raw food materials to the extremely poor people)

Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama launched a new service activity named ‘Dravya Yajna’ on 28th Dec, 08. Under this scheme we provide raw food materials to the extremely poor families & destitutes.

The food items consisting of 5 kg rice, 5 kg wheat flour, 1 kg edible oil & 1 kg toor dal will be given on monthly basis. 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 will come again to collect the next months ration. Those who have to travel long distance or are not physically fit to come & collect, for them we will be providing food items at their place.

The first relief for the month of January were given to the identified families & individuals on 28th of December, 08.

Right now we have identified 75 families & individuals from Belgaum & nearby village areas. 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.We wish to extend this help to more numbers of family in due course of time as & when we get funds for the same.

 Any contribution however small for this noble service will be thankfully acknowledged.

Note: Cheques / DDs can be drawn in favour of ‘Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Belgaum’.
