Cuttack (Odisha) [India], August 31: The International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF) partnered with Glory the Art Space to hold a charitable aid event at the Nirman Vocational and Skill Development School in Cuttack, Odisha. The event aimed to support 33 underprivileged children by providing them with educational supplies, food, and snacks.

To add some joy, 48 Tata Glucose drinks, 70 chocolate cakes, and 200 candies were distributed as snacks and treats.

Reflecting on the event, Santosh Kumar Patra said, “We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this initiative.
