SRI SATHYA SAI ANNAPOORNA TRUST
Partnering with
‘Rural India Supporting Trust’ (RIST)
and
‘Partnerships For Change’ (PFC)
for more COVID – 19 Relief
Start Date: 1st June, 2021
It is expected that the livelihoods of 200 million workers (and their families) are at stake due to the pandemic. While the government has brought about a slew of key financial and welfare measures, it is challenging to ensure that each and every person would have been reached out to, given the sheer size of our nation’s population.
In order to supplement the government’s efforts and to provide succour to the vulnerable and needy population, Annapoorna, over the last year, has reached out to over 100,000 families over the past year and has supported them with grocery essentials and/or nutritional essentials specifically for children in some cases. Annapoorna, a strong believer in partnering for social uplift of the needy, is happy to announce a collaboration with ‘Rural India Supporting Trust’ (RIST) with the support of ‘Partnerships For Change’ (PFC) to further the cause of reaching out to more needy population in rural India, which is now reeling under the second wave of COVID-19.
With this partnership, Annapoorna and RIST, with the support of PFC, would be helping 15,000 families with grocery kits containing:
Item | SKU (KGs) | No of Units | Total Qty in KGs |
Rice | 10 | 5000 | 50000 |
Wheat Flour | 2 | 5000 | 10000 |
Toor Dal | 1 | 5000 | 5000 |

This is intended to provide intervention to support nutritional needs of the families of 15,000 rural families, most of whom are women serving as cooks in Government schools across the states of Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry in South India.
As a part of the first tranche, during May end and June first week, Annapoorna is sending the grocery kits to 5000 families in Chikkaballapur, Tumkur districts in Karnataka. Some kits will also, with the help of Swabhimaan Trust, be distributed to below poverty line needy families in the Koramangala slum in Bengaluru.
