Guru Ki Rasoi organised a Vaccination Drive at Mallapuram Community Hall, Manarghat on 20th April 2021. The drive was conducted in association with the District Administration, South Andaman & PHC Wimberlygunj.
O Basheer, Ex-Pradhan of the area supported Guru Ki Rasoi and gathered the unvaccinated eligible Citizens of the area 45 years of age and above and convinced them to get themselves inoculated.
The challenge however was that most citizens were on fast because of the ongoing Holy month of Ramadan and couldn’t take the vaccine.
Guru Ki Rasoi came up with an innovative idea to to organise a IFTARI during the evening hours and then vaccinate the citizens.
IFTARI kits were distributed to the citizens eligible for vaccination and then they were inoculated with the doses of COVID-19 vaccines.
Suneel Anchipaka, Deputy Commissioner, South Andaman, Hari Kallikat, Sub Divisional Magistrate, South Andaman and Yashaswin, IAS (P) also visited the venue and appreciated the efforts of Port Blair Guru ki Rasoi and O Basheer.
