The historic village of Kalinga in Bhiwani district, Haryana, had been grappling with a severe waterlogging crisis for the past three decades. With a population of around 25,000 and nearly 12,000 registered voters, the condition of this vast village became extremely distressing when recent flooding completely disrupted daily life. Amid administrative apathy and the failure of the government machinery, the very existence of Kalinga village came under threat. At such a critical moment, with a firm resolve to serve humanity, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj intervened through Annapurna Muhim, not only providing relief materials to the village but also safeguarding the future of thousands of villagers.

The Tragedy of Kalinga Village and Failure of the Government System
Kalinga village, divided into three panchayats and various hamlets, had long been a prosperous rural area. However, due to geographical conditions and the absence of a proper drainage system, the problem of stagnant water in agricultural fields had persisted for thirty years. The situation turned terrifying when floods surrounded the village from all sides. Standing crops were destroyed, and hopes of future sowing began to fade.
According to former Chairman Rajendra Singh Parmar, the district administration and the DC office clearly refused to provide any assistance. This insensitivity of the administration led to a severe humanitarian crisis in the village. Under pressure from the accumulated water, walls began to collapse, and a four year old girl from an extremely impoverished family was crushed under debris and lost her life. Villagers termed this situation a complete failure of the government system and referred to the administration as a “statue of mud”, capable of seeing but having lost the ability to listen and help.
Historic Humanitarian Intervention by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj
When all government doors were closed and the villagers of Kalinga saw no way forward, the village panchayat and former Chairman Rajendra Singh Parmar submitted a request for help to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. Accepting this appeal through Annapurna Muhim, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj issued immediate orders for action.
Where government machinery failed to reach even after weeks, a massive convoy of relief materials entered the boundaries of Kalinga within just a few days of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’s instructions. This assistance was not symbolic but ensured practical, on ground solutions. For water drainage, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj sent three large, state of the art 15 HP motors along with approximately 6,000 feet (about 1,829 metres) of eight inch pipeline.
Technical Precision and Dedication in the Relief Materials
The hallmark of the relief materials sent by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj was their completeness. While handing over the equipment to the panchayat, volunteers clearly stated that it was Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’s directive that villagers should not need to purchase even a single nut from the market. The supplied materials included starters, joints, bends, connectors, and even adhesive for joining the pipes.
As this one kilometre long convoy of service passed through the village, a new ray of hope became visible in the eyes of the villagers. Through Annapurna Muhim, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj ensured that the relief materials were not temporary but were permanently gifted as village assets, enabling villagers to independently address any future waterlogging issues.
Annapurna Muhim: A Nationwide Service Initiative
The assistance provided in Kalinga is part of the broader Annapurna Muhim led by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. The objective of this initiative is to ensure that no person in any corner of the country remains hungry due to disaster, no home is destroyed, and no child’s education is disrupted.
So far, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has extended similar assistance through Annapurna Muhim to more than 300 villages across various states, including Haryana, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Gujarat. His clear message is that the true meaning of religion lies not in mere sermons but in serving suffering humanity. While other religious leaders and storytellers collect large donations and lead luxurious lives, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has set a new benchmark by directly utilising donated funds for public welfare through Annapurna Muhim.
Commitment to Service with Responsibility and Accountability
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’s working style reflects not only compassion but also discipline and accountability. At the time of handing over the relief materials, volunteers read out a special message and commitment letter from Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. It was clearly stated that sufficient resources had been provided and that it was now the responsibility of the panchayat to complete the drainage work through mutual coordination.
Under Annapurna Muhim, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj directed that the current condition of the village had been monitored using drones, and that drone videos would also be recorded after water drainage and when crops flourish. This transparency was ensured so that donors could have full confidence that their contributions are being used effectively to save millions of lives.
Villagers were also warned that if, despite this assistance, negligence leads to failure in draining water or sowing crops, then no relief would be provided in any future natural disaster.
Gratitude of the Villagers and a New Form of Faith
The residents of Kalinga village were deeply moved by this selfless service of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. Former Chairman Rajendra Singh Parmar publicly acknowledged that he regards Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj as God, because He stood by them when even their own people had abandoned them. Villagers believe that such immense help cannot be provided by an ordinary human being.
The sarpanch and other panchayat members pledged to follow Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’s instructions, work day and night, and make the village free from waterlogging at the earliest. Villagers also stated that through Annapurna Muhim, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj provided ration assistance to the family of the child who lost her life. The village is currently witnessing a festive atmosphere, and people are viewing Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj as a saviour in times of crisis.
Conclusion: A New Hope for Humanity
The work carried out by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj in Kalinga village through Annapurna Muhim stands as a unique example of nation building and service to humanity. Resolving a 30 year old problem on the basis of a single request demonstrates that with strong willpower, no disaster is insurmountable.
This initiative of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is not limited to flood relief alone, but is an effort to instil confidence in those standing at the lowest rung of society that they are not alone in times of crisis. The flourishing crops of Kalinga in the coming days will bear testimony to the humanitarian resolve of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
