In October 2025, the Vivek Sanjivani unit of the Ramakrishna Mission Home of Service, Varanasi, extended its holistic child welfare drive to the rural communities of the Mirzapur and Azamgarh districts. The initiative focused on addressing fundamental barriers to child development by providing a critical package of resources: nutrient-dense food to combat hunger and malnutrition, educational supplies to spark learning, and hygiene kits to promote health.
