Hongirana Men’s Self-Help Group, Mudarangady Fills Pothole to Ensure Road Safety

Members of the Hongirana Men’s Self-Help Group, Mudarangady set an inspiring example of community service after they noticed a large pothole on a local road that was causing severe inconvenience to commuters, especially during the rainy season. The pothole, often filled with water, was deceptive and posed a serious risk to two-wheeler riders, with the potential to cause fatal accidents.
During their Self-Help Group meeting, members immediately discussed the issue and decided to take a temporary measure by filling the pothole with mud to prevent accidents.
The prompt action of the group has been widely appreciated.
Kudos to the members of the Hongirana Group for their quick thinking and social responsibility. Their timely intervention may save many lives and protect many families.

Sampada Udupi Launches Awareness Campaign for ‘Raitasiri App’ to Empower Small Farmers

Sampada Udupi organization always keeps its Mission Statement in mind before planning and executing its activities: "Empowering 15,000 marginalized families by 2030 through inclusion, organization, empowerment, networking, advocacy, and ecological restoration, ensuring human dignity, rights, and entitlements for all."
One of the objectives for 2025-2030 is the Raitasiri Program: Prosperity through Organic Farming. The goal is to boost the income of 1,200 small farmers by 25% through organic farming and cooperative marketing by 2030.To implement this, the Trustees and Board Members decided to form a separate Trust, as Sampada cannot engage in commercial activities directly. Accordingly, in May 2026, Raitasiri Trust, Udupi was registered to uplift small farmers and people engaged in small-scale home industries, and to help market their products through cooperative farming.
After discussions, it was decided to launch the ‘Raitasiri App’, through which buyers can directly contact producers, with Raitasiri Trust acting as the facilitator.
Ahead of the App’s launch in mid-September, the Executive Director is visiting parishes across the Diocese to conduct awareness sessions. These sessions explain how the App works and seek local support to operate the ‘Hub’.
Yesterday, two training sessions were held: At Perampalli Parish, under the leadership of Fr. Vishal Lobo, Parish Priest, in collaboration with the Social Development Commission and Women’s Commission. At Kemmannu Parish, under the leadership of Fr. Philip Neri Ar**ha, Parish Priest, in collaboration with the Social Development Commission and Women’s Commission.
The Executive Director will continue visiting all parishes of the Diocese to empower people about the App.

Ashirwad SHG Sets an Example in Social Service at Ranganpalke Circle, Kanajar

Due to heavy rainfall and poor maintenance of drainage, sand gets deposited on the road and rainwater flows over it. This creates havoc for traffic, especially for two-wheeler riders.
Self Help Group members are noticing these problems that affect their family members and the public, which may lead to accidents and injuries. They discussed this in their meeting and decided that if such problems can be solved at their level, they themselves will take initiative to address them.
The Ashirwad Self Help Group members noticed a similar problem in their vicinity at Ranganpalke Circle, Kanajar. They cleaned the mud from the road, cleared the water-logged areas, and made a passage for rainwater to flow directly into the drainage. This has helped avoid water logging and sand deposition on the road.
We congratulate the members of Ashirwad SHG, Ranganpalke, Kanajar. May their example of social service inspire other Self-Help Groups.
