The Ansuman Memorial Trust, which has played a pivotal role in promoting sports in rural areas by organising State-level and district level events, has also showed its social commitments during the Covid-19 lockdown.
The organisation led by its secretary Himansu Sekhar Sahoo has undertaken massive charity activity in several villages. So far, it has organised 39 charity camps where dry foods, masks, personal protection equipment and other essential items were distributed to the poor.
Ansuman Memorial, which has organised several blood donation camps in the past, also distributed medicines to the poor.
“We always believe in the philosophy of live and let others live. Smiles on faces of the poor and deprived inspire us to undertake philanthropic activities,” said Himansu.
He added that the trust was also feeding animals, including monkeys and dogs, and would carry out the charity works till the end of lockdown.
