Ongoing Work by Samarpann :
Back To School
Children belonging to the poor economic strata run a high risk of getting dropped out of school in the aftermath of Covid-19. Hence we are ensuring that the basic necessities of education are taken care of and children are not forced into daily wage or agricultural activities. We are providing educational material in the form of ‘Adhyayan Kit’ (School bag, 6 notebooks, stationary, drawing books, colour pencils/crayons) to the children studying in Govt schools which will take care of their education needs for a year. The cost of each Adhyayan kit is Rs 850/- and we are planning to cover 1500 kids in the Govt schools in Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Maharashtra.

Providing Livelihood To Women From SHG And Distributing Reusable Sanitary Pads
In India about 332 million women menstruate and only 42% follow safe menstrual hygiene practices. These statistics of the normal times can only be worsening in the times of a pandemic.
When COVID-19 hit India, while the first thought that hit everyone was about empty stomachs, with their wide experience, doctors of Samarpan felt that there was an immense need to give information about hygiene, sanitation and menstrual health apart from giving them meals. Not only this, they took it a step ahead and found a way to solve the problem of unemployment too in one of the remotest part of India.
Under their REBUILDING LIVES Project, Samarpan is supporting a women SHG unit at Changlang District in Arunachal Pradesh that are manufacturing Reusable Sanitary Pads.
Under this project, Samarpan has provided them machinery and raw materials for manufacture of Reusable Sanitary Pads which will scale up their production capacity and increase their source of income which has been severely impacted due to the lockdown.
Further, the finished product of these sanitary pads are bought by the Samarpan and, with the help and coordination of district administration, they are being distributed to women from various remote and secluded parts of Arunachal Pradesh.
Thus, Smarpan is not only ensuring livelihood support to the women in the SHG but are also providing a safe menstrual hygiene to the poor women in various rural and tribal villages by giving them access to the reusable Sanitary Pads that will ensure their menstrual hygiene needs for at least a year.

Read More“Covid-19 has brought many important public health issues to the table. But what has been missing at the heart of discussion is the menstrual health of women in India during the pandemic.” – Dr Megha Bhargava, IRS, Dy Commissioner, Income Tax, Mumbai.
As the entire world is making it an absolute priority to wash hands repeatedly, poor labourers and slum dwellers in our cities and villages are facing water and food shortages. It is difficult for them to follow sanitation and hygiene processes or feel interested in them when the shortages are so severe. Samarpann felt that while they cannot help people build livelihoods they could go ahead and help them with some basic necessities to maintain hygiene which can alleviate suffering to a small extent. Dr Megha Bhargava, an advisor of Samarpann says, “We can’t sit at home when the need and suffering are so immense, we had to go out and do our bit.”
When COVID-19 hit India, while the first thought that hit everyone was about empty stomachs, with their wide experience, doctors of Samarpann felt that there was an immense need to give information about hygiene, sanitation and menstrual health apart from giving them meals.
“In India about 332 million women menstruate and only 42% follow safe menstrual hygiene practises. These statistics of the normal times can only be worsen in the times of a pandemic.” said Dr Megha Bhargava.
IRS officers collaborated with Samparna to provide ration, hygiene kits and sanitary napkins to the needy people across India. Dr Megha Bhargava and Mr Suresh Kataria who are deputy Income Tax commissioners, Mumbai decided to raise funds with Samarpann NGO. Mr Suresh Kataria spearheaded this effort along with Dr Megha Bhargava among IRS officials. He says, “I cannot bear to see such immense suffering among the poor and the vulnerable, many of my colleagues also felt very uneasy and I urged them to do their bit.” Till date Samarpann distributed 5.5 lakh cooked meals, 19,500 sanitation kits, sanitary napkins, 12,000 washable masks, 5500 sanitizers, 2,000 gloves to labourers, poor and essential care workers. They have also given food kits consisting of dry rations sufficient for a family for a month to over 5541 families in Mumbai.
Samarpann wants to distribute more sanitation kits to as many labourers as possible to migrants who are returning from Mumbai to their native states.The sanitation kit consist of a soap, 2 washable masks and a hand sanitiser. Apart from this, Samarpann also wants to distribute 1,00,000 disposable sanitary pads across slums in Mumbai as women’s hygiene during COVID-19 and lockdown period is extremely crucial.
