| South 24 Parganas | Sarberia |
| North 24 Parganas | Darik jungle, Sandeshkhali, Dakshin Barasat, Shibdas Acharya High School area |
The service focused on reaching remote and economically disadvantaged areas where the need for warm clothing and blankets is most acute during the winter months.
Impact and Distribution Details
A total of 1,000 blankets were distributed to the residents of these areas, offering direct protection against the cold. In addition to the blankets, the Math also provided:
- 200 Sarees for women.
