North and north-coastal Odisha was in the grip of a flash flood after incessant rainfall, triggered by a deep depression, left major parts of Keonjhar, Balasore, Bhadrak and Mayurbhanj districts inundated on June 28th (Tuesday) onwards.

Heavy rain triggered severe waterlogging in Balasore town, with water entering shops, residential areas and hotels. The rising Budhabalanga river also inundated low-lying settlements near Phuladi, Chidiya Polo, Balia chowk, Remuna and adjoining villages. As a result of which, major parts of Balasore town was heavily flooded bringing huge loss to lives and livelihood of people.

Yuva Vikas Foundation is reaching out to 2834+ families in need in 78+ villages in 5 blocks in 3 districts of North Odisha providing emergency food, setting up community kitchen, providing temporary shelter kits, restoring hygiene in the communities and most importantly, aiming to have a sustained presence in select communities with extremely vulnerable families.

We are committed to ensure ration and nutrition security of the flood affected people (Fishermen, landless, small and marginal Farmers) through relief and Agri restoration based rehabilitation initiative over coming 6 months in 2026.

We strongly believe.
