Disaster Relief

In the case of disasters, such as flood, fire, and drought, NBJK provides various forms of relief to those affected. As a result of the 2007 and 2008 floods in Bihar, a large number of people were displaced. Separated from their land, many suffered from acute hunger, poverty, and malnutrition. In response, NBJK distributed beaten rice and gram. Packs including a variety of basic essential items were also assembled and distributed. NBJK also erected houses to provide shelter for people with disabilities, widows, and impoverished communities from areas most affected by the floods.

NBJK also provides medical relief for those who are uninsured and unable to afford the necessary treatment for their condition, such as a broken arm or cancer. NBJK will set up liaison with a qualified doctor and negotiate the costs. NBJK will then cover either a portion or the entire cost of the required treatment, including medication. If an adequately trained doctor is not available at the PHCs or the district hospital, NBJK will arrange for the transport and accommodation necessary for the patient to go to Ranchi for treatment.
