The KIIT and the KISS have decided to distribute food items daily to stray monkeys inhabiting in different places in Bhubaneswar like Khandagiri, Dhauligiri, Shikharchandi hills and the area around Nandankanan to help them cope with the hardship due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The two institutions would also provide cooked food daily to other stray animals, including dogs, cows, etc. living in the areas from Nalco Square to KIIT & KISS campuses. Founder, KIIT & KISS Dr Achyuta Samanta started the campaign by offering food to monkeys in Shikharchandi hill on Friday.
Two staffs of KIIT would be engaged in these activities with the help of police.
Earlier, it was decided to distribute food packets containing flattened rice (chuda), sugar and dry food to nearly 40,000 needy and poor families and daily wage labourers, specially their children, in and around Bhubaneswar city thrice a week for a minimum period of 20 days.
