The second wave of the novel coronavirus pandemic turned out to be detrimentally devastating for India, with thousands of people losing their lives in absence of major healthcare resources such as life-saving drugs, oxygen cylinders and hospital beds.
But what was truly heartwarming to witness during the trying times was how people helped others get through the pandemic. Apart from common people, various celebrities from different walks of life came forward and extended help to thousands of needy people in ways more than one.

The actor has extended help to the tribal families of the Nirmal district in the state of Telangana, who are struggling to buy groceries during the pandemic. Daggubati provided villagers with groceries and medicines to help them in these difficult times. While several villages have already received help from the actor, others will receive it soon.
