The main intention of this group is to instigate and rekindle the spirit of service in every citizen. We can continue with our day-to-day life and still can work for positive and progressive changes in our society. Encourage people to form as groups with friends and like minded people and work towards attainable goals.

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS.

Two students - Vyayamshala School

On April 9th, Ratanji referred this case to our group. Poor lady is having 2 daughters. One is LKG and the other is in Class-I. Husband is an auto-driver, takes the auto on daily-rent and spends the money on drinking after paying off the auto-rent. He suggests to pull out the daughters from school as he is not interested to fund them for studies. The mother, being interested in education of the kids, saves whatever she can and sends the kids to school. She walks 5km one-way everyday so that she can save Rs.3 on bus-fare. Ratanji assured her that he will pay her bus-fare every month and she need not walk down. Her concern was the monthly fee, uniform and books for the kids.

One of our US members, Uday Bhaskar, has sent Rs. 1000 for this case. Ratanji's friend, Bharadwaj, contributed Rs. 2000. This case is taken up by SHiFT and supported by TMAD.
