Community Support in Dariakata

In a heartwarming collaboration between the Rotary Club of Salt Lake Silicon Valley, Smaran, and Donateo, alongside the Institute of Engineering & Management, Kolkata, over a hundred elderly women in the Dariakata area near Purulia received much-needed assistance. They were provided with traditional towels, water bottles, umbrellas, food, and other essentials, while children received notebooks, pens, and pencils to support their education. The impact of this initiative was not just felt in the lives of those directly aided but also resonated throughout the community. Media outlets such as srbnewsbangla, Ekdin, Eastern Chronicle, Aajkal, Sukhabor, and The Indian Chronicles covered the event, shedding light on the power of compassion and community action. Together, through collective efforts, we showcase the profound difference that can be made when we extend a helping hand and stand in solidarity with those in need.
