Doing things for others, whether small, unplanned acts or regular volunteering, is a powerful way to boost our own happiness as well of those around us.
This is the thought of former Chairman of Nabarangpur Municipality Prahalada Tripathy, who restlessly is engaged in working for the needy since the implementation of nationwide lockdown following the COVID-19 outbreak.
He prepares 300 food packets every day for the poor and needy and himself is distributing by traveling by a scooty in the town. He was also seen creating awareness among the people about Covid-19 and avout the norms of social distancing.
"The authorities could not rush to each and every needy during this critical time; so I am contributing a bit for the purpose," said Tripathy.
"Due to the lockdown many sick, indigent and destitute persons in the town are not able to get their food. In order to avoid any starvation, I have decided to extend my little help. Accordingly, I provide cooked food in packet among all such persons,"he added.
