Annual function of Shahid Jadonang Hostel, Delhi
“VANVASI Kalyan Ashram is doing divine work. Swami Vivekananda said serving the needy and underprivileged is serving the God. Therefore, everyone should help the Kalyan Ashram in this endeavour,” said Mahant Rameshwar Puri Maharaj of Niranjani Akhada, Haridwar. He was speaking at the annual function of Kalyan Ashram run Shahid Jadonang hostel in Delhi on April 7. Kalyan Ashram Akhil Bharatiya Shraddha Jagran Pramukh Shri Suresh Kulkarni was also present on the occasion.
Swami Rameshwar Puri further said the Vanvasis are in very miserable condition and they face many onslaughts not only from the alien forces but also from our own people. Therefore, it is the collective responsibility of everyone to help them joining the mainstream. He lauded the activities of Kalyan Ashram and said it is truly transforming the lives of the Vanvasis.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Suresh Kulkarni said Kalyan Ashram is basically a bridge between the society and the Vanvasis. He apprised the gathering of the countrywide activities of Kalyan Ashram. General secretary of Sanatan Dharma Sabha Delhi, Shri Bhushanlal Parashar shared his experience of Meghalaya visit.
The Shahid Jadonang hostel was started by Kalyan Ashram in 2008 with just 18 students from north-eastern states. In the beginning it was started in a rented house at Badli. Later, it was shifted to its own building built in Narela. Presently, there are 45 students from different parts of north-eastern states. The hostel is from class 2 to 10th standard. All facilities are provided to the students free of cost. (FOC)
