Innovation / Creativity in service
a. Our dedicated volunteers joined Police and Revenue staff and assisted in evacuation and rescue operations throughout the night 1st & 2nd Oct 2009.
b. Instead of packed food pockets, we directly supplied cooked food items like Rice, Dal, Chutney, Upma, Pongal, Pulihora, Rasam, Sambar, etc.,
We felt packed food items in plastics are not good for health and environment. That is why we innovatively supplied hot cooked food items.
c. We assessed specific needs of women and children. We creatively distributed sanitary napkins for adolescent girls and women, ORS sachets for aged and ill health people, play items and educational material for school children to bring them from psychological trauma.
d. Since the existing toilets are not usable, we arranged temporary toilets for women and girls. | | |
