Student volunteers going the extra mile to help devotees get hassle-free darshan at Kanaka Durga temple in Vijayawada

Senior citizens and differently-abled persons are having a hassle-free darshan at Sri Durga Malleswara Swamywarla Devasthanam in Vijayawada during the Dasara festival, thanks to young student volunteers who are working round-the-clock at the temple.

A group of 60 students from KBN College and Sarada College, who are offering their services as Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) volunteers, are working in three shifts, with the first batch starting at 5 a.m.

The other two shifts are 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Each shift has a batch of 20 volunteers, both boys and girls. Only boys work on night shifts.
