1.Jai Hind Transport Services to transport the consignment from Kolkata to Jharkhand

2. Sant Nandlal Marwari Sat Sangh,  Ghatsila  for support in transporting the blankets to the remote Mosaboni.

Phase 2-  

Birhor is a tiny tribal community of Jharkhand. They  are basically forest dwellers  and dependant on fruit gathering and forest produce for their sustenance . During this winter two of their women died due to extreme cold. There are just 20 families in this Birhor settlement in Bhadua Panchayat located  about 10  km away from Ghatsila. Our Swadhina state office is located in Ghatsila town and we thought it to be an important task to help them.

On January 20,2019 we organized the blanket distribution program and each of these 21 families  was given a blanket.  This program was conducted by Swadhina Secretary Ms
HINDUSTHAN News Paper
Saswati Roy Patnaik  assisted by Ladu Ram Mahato. Sri Prasenjit Karmakar,  a teacher  from Sant Nandlal School was also present.These blankets were  procured with the kind donation  we received from a family  from Kerala  - Shivan, Deepthi and Paramesh .We record our sincere gratitude to them for this timely help.
