Berhampur : Volunteers of the National Service Scheme (NSS) will soon assist the ongoing restoration work in the cyclone and flood-ravaged areas of Odisha`s Ganjam district.
The programme, with special focus on health and sanitation, will be launched after consultation with the district administration, and NSS volunteers will hold special camps in the affected district, sources said.
The decision was taken at a meeting of NSS programme officers of different colleges held here on Tuesday, which was attended by the chief of NSS state unit, Sarita Patel.
