During the program, the BWWA team also distributed cooked hot Food, Clothing items, Ration, and Stationery to the residents, ensuring that their immediate needs are met. Dr. Prema Gandhi, who has consistently been at the forefront of welfare activities for the underprivileged, alongwith other BSF BWWA members undertook the distribution of items to needy people.
A key aspect of the program was its focus on education.
