The ethnic conflict in Manipur has left many families struggling for survival in the face of adversity. Since May 3, 2023, many lives have been lost, thousands of houses destroyed, and the need for relief support is as critical as ever. Jan Vikas Samiti (JVS) took a small initiative to support people in need of relief materials at this crisis time.

Dry Ration Kits Distributed to 500 Families: Jan Vikas Samiti’s efforts took shape in the form of dry ration kit distribution, aimed at alleviating the suffering of 500 families, with special attention given to persons with disabilities, widows, and those affected by HIV/AIDS. These essential kits included 25 kg of rice, 3 kg of sugar, 3 kg of dal, and 2 litres of cooking oil, providing relief and sustenance to those grappling with the consequences of the conflict.

Phased Distribution Ensures Effective Reach: The distribution was executed over four phases, spanning from July 17th to July 28th, 2023. This initiative became a reality through the invaluable support and partnership of a local NGO operating in Manipur, whose dedication and commitment were pivotal in ensuring that aid reached the hands of those who needed it most.

Acknowledging Lifesaving Support from the Liliane Foundation: Jan Vikas Samiti extends heartfelt gratitude to the Liliane Foundation, the Netherlands for their timely and invaluable support, which made this humanitarian endeavour possible. Their help has been instrumental in reaching out to the affected people during these trying times.

A Hope for Peace: Jan Vikas Samiti is hopeful that the situation in Manipur will soon improve, paving the way for peace and stability in the region.
