Heavy rains lashed thousands of villages, made people homeless, people lost their families, everything around seemed inhuman, this was the time when student LEADers initiated the relief operation forming groups to gather all the necessary aid. When the common man realized how hard the floods had hit northern part of Karnataka, the relief material flooded in huge quantity. Realizing how connected the regional people felt about their fellow beings who suffered losses, they donated generously.
