You can not simply drive to a village with an open heart and start handing out blankets. It would cause a riot.

Instead, we rely on “The List”, a hand written record of all the village families.

Depending on the accuracy and integrity of the Panch (Village Mayor), his list will ensure a fair and reasonably orderly distribution as he calls out the names.

Mata Amritanandamayi Math distributed three thousand blankets over three days.
