Lucknow, Oct. 2 -- A week-long volunteer-led movement, 'Daan Utsav' will begin on Thursday. The initiative aims to spark kindness and generosity through small, meaningful actions, the organisers said. This year, UP will witness a dynamic and diverse set of initiatives that range from health awareness drives and educational outreach to environmental sustainability efforts. One of the key initiatives is the UPNP Plus Campaign, a multi-state effort spanning UP, Bihar, and Odisha. This flagship programme focuses on HIV/AIDS care, nutritional support, and non-communicable disease (NCD) awareness, and includes the innovative 'One Hour Doctor' model to assist individuals affected by HIV/AIDS, said Jyotsana Habibullah, one of the organisers. On October 5, a Seva Mela will be held at Habibullah Estate in Hazratganj, which will include awareness booths, NGO stalls, and interactive sessions to encourage civic participation. Additionally, on October 2, student volunteers from IET College will prepare more than 2,000 fresh sandwiches as part of the 'Seva Sandwich' initiative. The sandwiches will be distributed to underprivileged children by Robin Hood Army.htc...
