The programmes focused on providing essential medical, educational, and sanitary support to underprivileged sections of society in Mizoram and Manipur.

At Thingsulthlia Village in Seling, Mizoram, personnel distributed essential medicines, sanitary items, and study materials to the NGO Nuna Lal Hnam. The initiative aimed to improve health awareness, hygiene practices, and access to educational resources for local children and families.
Simultaneously, in Thoubal district of Manipur, learning kits were handed over to underprivileged children at Umeed Academy in Wangjing.
