SEVAARTH

“The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.”

-Leo Tolstoy

SEVAARTH: Genesis

All great men have upheld social service and reform in one form or another. Magnanimity of mind has always been accompanied by the benevolence of heart. Buddha, Tagore, Gandhi... all noble souls have found eternal peace and happiness in the service of others. Their lives inspire all to be the torch bearer for serving humanity.

The devoted life of our great scholar and reformer Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviyaji inspires us to give shape to this social, voluntary movement called “SEVAARTH” which shall seek to Aid, Aware and Act.

We, as students of management realise the importance of planning, organizing, controlling and co-0ordinating for bringing about a positive change . But what change is positive until it is in the service to brethren!

Therefore we channelize our efforts to make existence beautiful for every soul in every way.

The fraternity of FMS-BHU takes pride in announcing the birth of its social service club “SEVAARTH” on the 12th of September, 2009, under the SPECIAL ASSISTANCE

PROGRAM(SAP) sponsored by UGC for the welfare of the society.

“...We expect you to devote as much of your time and energy as you can spare to the upliftment of your humble brethren. We expect you to work in the midst, to share their sorrows and their joys, to strive to make their lives happier in every way you can.” (An excerpt)
