The Sri Sathya Sai Seva Samithi, Poranki, successfully completed 38 days of its buttermilk distribution service at Tadigadapa, benefiting nearly 38,000 people during the peak summer season.

Organised with the blessings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba and under the guidance of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations State president R. Lakshmana Rao, the initiative aims to provide relief to pedestrians and the general public.

The samithi uses steel glasses instead of disposable cups to promote environmental sustainability. Around 10 to 12 volunteers participate daily in the service, which is coordinated by Rama Devi, Rama Satyanarayana and Tirumala Rao. The programme is funded through devotees’ contributions, a press release said.
