Tollywood Actress Suchandra Vaaniya actively reaching out to the Poor amidst the Lockdown
We have read many news stories during the recent coronavirus crisis, of celebrities donating lakhs and crore of rupees for the fight against the virus. But few of them are actually getting to the ground and reaching out to poor families directly. One fine example is Tollywood actress Suchandra Vaaniya. She has been actively reaching out to the people directly without having much support from the state machinery.
It came to her notice that one such village in Purulia, Tulsibari needs immediate relief. Home to hundreds of daily wagers and farmers, Tulsibari needs immediate attention to ensure that the villagers don’t suffer from hunger and malnutrition because of the mandatory lockdown. Vaaniya led Just Studio took an initiative to ensure that these families are at least supplied with basic grocery for survival. However, it’s easier said than done.

While her team is trying to accumulate funds for this initiative, it is not so easy, therefore she has requested all her friends in Media and Entertainment to come forward and help her in this initiative in whatever way they can. Donations, food and grocery supply or even simply by spreading the word.
She has pleaded with everyone to join her in this little endeavour to ensure that at least some of the citizens of this country do not go to bed hungry, as we battle this pandemic.
