That’s good news. Keep us posted. Thanks.

With the amount of trouble some may have gone through to get the money across to Sankalp I am surprised that those who did contribute have to make a request to get the report emailed.I would have taken it as an obligation on the part Sankalp.

With your support and participation, Project Prayas led to the supply of 1947 sheets of tarpaulin to the most needy people in Majuli (Dist: Jorhat) and Sootea (Dist: Sonitpur) in Assam. Thousands of people will have better shelter only because of your support.

We have prepared a report of the relief activities conducted in Assam. In the report you will find the details of how the need was identified and the relief provided, the financials, some notes from the volunteer diaries and a whole lot of information for you to be able to visualise how this Project was implemented. Please contact me by replying to this comment if you want the report to me mailed to you.

We the Sankalp Volunteers are honoured to have received your trust and support. Thank you so much for joining hands with us to ‘Give Life A Better Chance’

Sourav, I am really pleased to hear that you made your target. I also want to say I am very grateful that some of our readers (they know who they are!) came through for you. Please keep us all posted on your progress.

@NRI,
It’s almost six months since the request was made for any progress made. I am certain all those who made even the smallest contribution have the right to know how it benefitted those who suffered the natural disaster if they were to continue to support any such future action.

In this connection the silence has not been eloquent.

Any updates on progress made?

I was out of station and couldn’t read the post in time. If you plan for any second round of donation campaign, please let me know at: britul.sharma(at)nrl.co.in .. I shall be glad to offer some help.

I would like to add some more facts and figures to your article :
The river island “Majuli” is not “one of the biggest” river island in the world, as you said. In fact, it is “the biggest one”. It is recorded in Guinness book of world record for the same. But I m afraid if flood continue to disturb it like this, it will hardly be able to hold its record pride. Flood also triggers landslide in that island and that’s why the surface area of the island is decreasing at a very faster pace.

Again, from Jorhat, if you travel for 1 hr by road towards Guwahati, you will reach “Kaziranga National park”. It is a national reserve forest and very famous for one horned rhino. Flood has also affected it very badly. This year Kaziranga had lost 573 animals in flood which includes mostly deers, elephants, and Rhinos …

It is a mandatory requirement for tropical and monsoon affected reserve forests to have high grounds; so that during flood, wild animals can take shelter there. The high grounds available in Kaziranga as on today were created by Indian Army long back. Govt. haven’t done anything yet.

Thanks a million for trusting Sankalp with your contribution. We were able to collect more than 80,500 INR – just through this one article. Few more families in Assam will have less pain and a shelter – all thanks to your thoughtfulness.
