The recent Chennai floods ended up killing 77 and displacing thousands. SB Arjun, a benevolent Chennai resident, took it upon himself to help the poor and needy who were battling the floods by providing them with food and clothing.

Arjun decided to name the initiative Namma Chennai Calling. He started the effort with a handful of his friends. Today there are around 50 volunteers helping out in the cause.
