The dry ration distribution program that was held by Mukti on 24th and 28th July 2021in the remotest areas of the Jhargram district of West Bengal has earned a huge acceptance among tribal people.
Around 113 Adivasi families living far away from the civilized society were distributed ration in the past few days. Mukti volunteers reached Lalgarh and Sijua No.8 Gram Panchayats under Binpur I Block with the ration kit contained lentils, soybean, and biscuits.
Mukti in collaboration with “ASFHM” initiated the ration distribution drive for the weak and marginalized sections of society living in isolation.
Distribution Venue | Gram Panchayat | Block | Number of Beneficiaries |
Lalgarh Saradamoni Balika Vidyala | Lalgarh | Binpur I | 62 |
Banpukhuria Ahladi High School(H.S.) | Sijua No.8 | Binpur I | 51 |
2 GPs | 1 Blok | 113 |
Laxmi Chalo came from a distant village to receive the ration at Lalgarh. She said “I am very happy to receive the ration. It will help to feed my family for a couple of days. Our “Didimoni” (the teacher of the school) informed us about the distribution program. I am grateful to Mukti and ASFHM to think for the marginalized people like us.”
Mukti was able to bring a smile to the faces of 113 vulnerable families but compared to the scale of the crisis, the relief work in these small forest pockets of Jhargram district is minuscule.
Mukti will continue to support the people of Jhargram as per its capability in the future too.
