The Art of Living has been working in Gujarat since 24th July, 2017 and has so far distributed 1.25 lakh food packets, 15,000 ration kits that can feed a family of four for 10 days, 10,000 blankets and truckloads of clothes in the highly affected Banaskantha, Patan and Surendranagar districts.
Now Planning for Sustainable Rehabilitation Programs
The organization is now planning sustainable trauma relief and long term rehabilitation measures as well. In a press conference following his visit, Gurudev appreciated the efforts of the volunteers who have been preparing and distributing relief packages to thousands of affected people. “We’ll provide trauma-relief programs and take up a comprehensive river rejuvenation project in Gujarat. Floods have happened because catchment areas have been encroached upon. By planting trees and rejuvenating rivers, such situations can be avoided,” he added.
