Already praised for the Safety-Health-Environment (SHE) project, the Gajapati police has now come up with another innovative project for the poor.
On Wednesday, it launched a donation drive namely ‘Akshay Dana Patra’ to collect basic items and distribute those to the needy at the District Headquarters Hospital (DHH).
As a part of the initiative, two buckets have been kept in the DHH premises. People are being encouraged to donate foods and clothes by dropping those in the buckets.
District Collector Anupam Saha launched the drive. SP Sarah Sharma served free food to the inmates of the leprosy rehabilitation centre on the occasion.
Earlier, Gajapati police had launched SHE project for providing protection to minor girls and women in distress and Udaan project for imparting free defence training to
youths.
