Responding to Mr Pai's invitation to visit Taranga School, the members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) paid a visit to the school and held discussions with Mr Patil, the Managing Trustee of Taranga School, and their staff about possible cooperative efforts.

AMYA and Ahmadiyya women’s auxiliary, Lajna Imaillah, Shimoga planned a program to initiate a helping hand to Taranga School by distributing fruit bags and Exam Kits to their students. The school management had also requested help in repairing their water tanks which were not functioning properly.

On the distribution day, a delegation comprising of Ahmadiyya elders, youths, and ladies visited the school. Mr Shariff Ahmad of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at and Mr Patil from the school management gave brief introduction of their organizations respectively.

Syed B.M. Ahmad, President of Shimoga Chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at started the program by leading the salient prayer.

Mir Azam Zikriya, Naib Ameer Jamaat District Shimoga; Moosa Hussain, Vice President AMJ Shimoga; and several members of the delegation distributed the fruit bags, while Ms. Amtul Rasheed, President, Ahmadiyya women’s auxiliary; Ms. Amtul Raheem, Vice President; Ms. Amtul Kaleem Tahsin and other ladies distributed the Exam Kits among the approximately 60 students.
