1. Nutritional Support for Chronically Ill Patients and Would-be Mothers
The Vivek Sanjivani unit of the Ramakrishna Mission Home of Service, Varanasi, conducted targeted nutritional support drives in November 2025 to alleviate the burden on patients battling chronic illnesses. The programme’s core objective was to deliver nutrient-rich food support to individuals suffering from conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, severe mental disorders, epilepsy, and others, recognizing that adequate nutrition is critical for managing these long-term health challenges.
Providing protein-rich cashew nuts to 37 expectant mothers is a powerful step toward safeguarding their health and nurturing stronger futures for their children. This simple supplement not only enriches their daily meals but also ensures lasting vitality and well-being for both mother and child.
2. Distribution of Mosquito Nets to Patients
By distributing 18 mosquito nets to patients, Vivek Sanjivani is actively safeguarding them from dangerous mosquito-borne diseases. This simple yet powerful act of precautionary healthcare support not only protects lives but also promotes a healthier, safer community.
3. Key Distribution Summary
The support drives focused on distributing Daliya (a nutrient-dense cracked wheat/grain preparation) across several villages in the Mirzapur and Sonbhadra districts, spanning multiple dates throughout the month.
Distribution Statistics by Village:
| Village, District | Dates of Distribution (November 2025) | Number of Patients Served | Daliya Distributed (kg) |
| Naugawan, Mirzapur | 4, 5 | 9 | 9 |
| Majhawan, Mirzapur | 5, 6, 12 | 32 | 33 |
4. Overall Impact
The program successfully provided essential nutritional assistance, primarily through the distribution of Daliya, which is valuable for its complex carbohydrates and fibre, aiding in the dietary management of chronic conditions, particularly diabetes.
| Metric | Total |
| Total Unique Patients Served | 41 |
| Total Daliya Distributed (kg) | 42 kg |
The focused and recurring distributions, with some villages receiving assistance on five separate days, underscore the commitment to sustained care for the most vulnerable populations battling chronic illnesses in the Mirzapur district.
