Amid the pandemic, NSS volunteers from a Hubballi college have set an example for others to emulate by collecting over 300 bags of rice to be given as donation to mutts, old age homes and organisations to feed the needy. On Monday, they donated 101 bags of rice to Siddharoodh Mutt in Hubballi.
The initiative, Ondu Mushti Akki (A fistful of rice), was taken up by volunteers of National Service Scheme (NSS) from J.G. College of Commerce in Hubballi and over 300 bags of rice were collected in a span of 11 days. The rice donated to Siddharoodh Mutt on Monday was for dasoha (mass feeding).
