The entire country is trying its best to battle against Coronavirus. While physicians and paramedical staff are treating covid patients day in and day out, Police and administration department has been enforcing guidelines and increasing facilities in hospitals.
During this time, Baroda Chartered Accountants Group stepped up against Corona. Known for creating balance sheets of big companies, banks and firms, this Group has decided to offer dinner to the relatives of the COVID patients outside SSG, Gotri and Samras Hostel.
Manish Bakshi, Chartered Accountant of the Group, said that the campaign has been launched to realize the mantra of Prabhu Seva through Anna Seva. Out-city patients undergoing treatment in Vadodara will have to spend the night without food at a time when the corona curfew is imposed at 8 pm every night in the city. So the idea of providing them with food was put forward.
He further said that initially 34 members of the group contributed financially and today about 100 members have joined it. The Group has been providing bread, vegetables, Chhole Puri and Bananas to the relatives of about 350 out-city patients who have been receiving treatment at Sayaji, Gotri and Samaras covid Hospital for the last 12 days. After Jalaram Bapa’s Aarti, these food items are prepared as part of prasadi.
He added that the holy month of Ramzaan is currently being observed and while the people fast during the day and the Group provides them with bananas, apples. They also provide dry snacks in 250 gram packets.
The Group currently provide food to 350 people and if necessary and they are ready to provide dinner for 500 people if the hospital informs them.
Manish said that people from affluent families are hesitating to take these meals, but we explain to them that they would not get any food in the curfew at night and then they agreed to take the packets.
