VT Seva Volunteers on the ground are working round the clock in helping the

flood victims in all possible ways by distributing food packets, clothes,

utensils and in attending to immediate needs. Free medical camps and free

veterinary camps are also being conducted in the affected areas. As the

immediate need was to provide basic facilities such as food, water,

utensils, blankets and Shelter, VT Seva volunteers under the direction of HH

Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji reached out to the worst affected regions of AP

with " Flood Relief Kits. " Each kit contains a bucket, steel water pot, 4

steel plates, 4 steel tumblers, 4 serving spoons, 5 Kg. Rice, Pulses pack,

tamarind pack, Salt, Oil packet, candles, matchboxes etc.

 

Volunteers have already distributed thousands of flood relief kits as of now

(~$46 each) in the districts affected by floods. VT Seva has also set up

flood relief camps where victims are provided shelter and food irrespective

of their caste, religion and any other form of discrimination. Not only

people, but also cattle are taken care by VT Seva. Please visit
