The torrential rains in the Gir Gadhada, Una and Gir Jungle areas between 15 and 19 July 2018 resulted in extensive flooding which stranded many villagers. During this period, BAPS volunteers provided over 13,300 nutritious and tasty vegetarian sweet and savory food dishes and packets containing sukhdi, puri, spiced vegetables, chillis, chapattis, rice, mung, shiro and other items freshly cooked at nearby BAPS mandirs.
Around 100 BAPS men and women volunteers, assisted by local villagers provided food to the affected in 11 villages: Harmadia, Alidar, Panderi, Akolvadi, Abhalvad, Kanekiya, Kareni, Lerka, Shiloj, Manekpara and Khatrivada.
