Relief Aid for Flood-Affected People of Manipur

Manipur has faced severe flooding due to Cyclone Remal, worsened by ethnic conflicts, leaving thousands of families displaced and at risk. To address urgent humanitarian needs, this project was implemented in July 2024, providing CGI sheets for shelter, rice, linen bedcovers, and sarees to affected households. The relief was executed in collaboration with local NGOs like Sewa Bharati Manipur and overseen by Lt. Gen. L Nishikanta Singh (Retd.), Volunteer Coordinator of Seva International. A total of 550,000 INR was allocated to support 379 families with food, 164 families with shelter materials, and distribute clothing and bedding based on needs. This project ensured rapid, effective aid delivery and provided dignity, comfort, and basic necessities to flood victims in remote areas.
