LUCKNOW/BHOPAL/DELHI: Khudai Khidmatgar, the organisation that has been revived in India in recent years, has been serving the Kanwariyas--the people who participate in the Kanwar Yatra in Uttar Pradesh. 

Hindus who take part in the long yatra need medication and hence the Khudai Khidmatgars have held camps to offer assistance to the people who embark on this long journey. 

Thousands of people take the holy water and walk hundreds of kilometers. On way, they get injured and need medication as there are health issues. This is one of the camps in Muzaffarnagar in Western part of Uttar Pradesh.

In India, it has been revived by Faisal Khan, a few years ago. Since then, it has spread all over the country. Its members go to the needy people and help them in times of natural calamaties.

Also, apart from their work, the group's main aim is to spread the message of communal harmony. They have set up a place in Delhi where people belonging to different religions, stay together.
