The face of the moon was in shadow
On 11 November 2025, after a challenging five-hour journey through the Patkai ranges along the India–Myanmar border, the relief team comprising two monastic members, staff, and students of Ramakrishna Mission, Narottam Nagar, reached Kamhua Noknu village in the Pongchau Circle of Longding district.
As part of its ongoing Winter Relief Programme, the institution, in association with Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math, distributed 666 blankets among 1,979 beneficiaries from 300 families, extending much-needed support to the communities residing in these remote border areas at the onset of winter.
In a gesture of gratitude, the villagers gifted vegetables such as pumpkin, squash, bottle gourd and other gourds, ginger, and local greens for the tribal boys residing in the institution.
It is through the benevolent support of the devotees and well-wishers of the Ramakrishna Mission that such service activities are being carried out in this remote corner of Mother India.
