[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1586771927095","data":"The ongoing nationwide lockdown has brought life to a standstill and because of that, a lot of things have changed. Social media is abuzz with how things are different now, people whose work can be done remotely, are working from home, people are finding new ways to be productive, people are spending their time with their loved ones and more. If you are reading this, then you are definitely doing some or the other of the above.<\/p>But, all is not completely rosy. There is a huge section of the population that has been affected in a negative way and are bearing the brunt of this lockdown. In such a scenario, if there is one section of the population that has the potential to help these people, it is the student community and this small instance is testimony to that. Akshith Muppidi, a student of CMRIT and a member of the Street Cause chapter from that college, and his team, raised funds to supply groceries to a home for the mentally challenged in Warangal.<\/p>A few weeks before the lockdown started, colleges were closed by the government and Akshith, like many students, went back to Warangal, where he hails from. \"After the lockdown started, a lot of orphanages, old-age homes and the likes have been suffering due to lack of funds and resources. I came to know of a home for the mentally challenged - Mallikamba Manovikasa Kendram, through a newspaper and that place was facing shortage of groceries and immediately, I called up my team from Street Cause CMRIT and Street Cause EForce and we got into action,\" explains Akshith.<\/p> <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1586771927097","data":"5e943d86b618b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1586771927096","data":"His team members, especially Adarsh and Likith, raised Rs. 20,000 and Akshith then requested a local wholesale grocery trader to supply Rice, Dal, Oil, etc in bulk. The trader also supported this initiative and gave a discount, including transporting the goods at a low cost. <\/p>They got 200 kilograms of rice, 60 kilograms of upma rava, 20 kilos of oil and other necessary items in bulk to last at least a month for the home, which houses 45 mentally challenged children. <\/p>"}]
