Relief work has been going on since the formation of ANDS and this helps the people of Ananda Nagar when they are in various serious conditions due to natural calamities.

A large portion of the population of Rarh does not get enough nutritious food. And because of this malnutrition, they fall under the grip of leprosy disease.

There are several Projects aimed at the local population. They include food distribution, delivery of planting rice, mobile support for prevention and treatment in villages farthest from the hospital, and special care for children.
