The ‘Cyclone Fani Relief and Restoration’ work provided immediate relief while restoring infrastructure damaged by Cyclone Fani in Khordha district of Odisha. Extremely severe cyclonic storm, Fani, made landfall on 3 May 2019 on the coast of Puri in Odisha, severely affecting Puri and Khordha districts. Gram Vikas provided immediate relief to the communities in the peripheries of Bhubaneswar in Khordha district. In consultation with the district administration, we undertook relief and restoration work in three gram panchayats of Chandaka, Andharua and Daruthenga, in the periphery of the Chandaka Reserve Forest in Khordha.
