Led by Mahant Ganga Mai, along with Pooja Solanki, Mohini, Preeti, and Sonia, the group reached self-built huts in areas lacking basic infrastructure, such as tin-sheet roofs and power supply, near the new grain market.

Mahant Ganga Mai also expressed her willingness to support economically disadvantaged families during the marriage ceremonies of their daughters.
