RSS being the largest non governmental organization in India, With its dedicated nationalist
volunteers located each and every corner of affected areas, responded swiftly to help the needy
before anybody including government could reach these areas. It has been proved once again that
RSS stands for Ready for Selfless Service. Despite the non availability of resources and funds,
Sayamsevaks raised above the expectations to serve the needy in these disastrous times.
RSS initiated the process of bringing together and collaborating with various NGOs and individual
philanthropists for an coordinated effort to use the resources in the better manner.
First Phase of Relief Operations:
They started distributing food packets brought by their fellow volunteers from the neighboring
villages and Districts. RSS has supplied food packets to over one lac families in three districts for
past 3 days reaching the interior rural areas of Karnool and Mahaboob Nagar. Since the connectivityto Karnool has been cut off, Material is being brought in from Anantapur, Kadapa, Nellore and
Raichure of Karnataka
RSS started the relief camps in Karnool town in Saraswati Sishu Mandir and G Pulla Reddy
Engineering College. Supplied thousands food and water Packets to the Karnool town from here.
Volunteers from Adoni went Mantralaya cleaned Mantralaya temple and cleared the Dead Bodies of
Cows of Goshala and other animals. Many of the dead are the Piligrims to Mantrala Temple.

Vidwan Reddy have visited Gadwal relief Camp and met the volunteers working in Mahaboob
Nagar.
Second Phase of Relief :
We have surveyed the affected areas of Mahaboob Nagar District and found that 58 Villages are
badly destroyed and 16,000 families of many other villages are devastated. The immediate
requirement of these families to be settle down to their daily chores is to have their daily necessities.
Hence we are planning for supplying the kits to 5000 families which will enable them to start off
their living. Each Kit will consists of Kitchen utensils, food grains and material of daily use.
In Karnool District, still 250-300 villages are still under water hence the survey is not yet
completed. As far as Karnool Town is concerned, is slowly returning to normalcy. Around Karnool
Town 29 villages have been severely affected. We surveyed and serviced 20 villages around
