Par t icipation of women in Sewa karya has grown phenomenally in last dec-

ade throughout t he count ry. In many states, women act ivists are leading

the Sewa organizations in the capacit y of President or Secretary or Coor -

dinator s. Indicators clear ly state that t he rise in number of Sewa karyas of

Sewa Bharat i is some way related to t his very factor . Unit s like Delhi Sewa

Bharati have crossed the lim it of 50-50, ti lt ing towards Mahila par t icipa-t ion, having Mahilas at all levels- from grassroots to the state level.

Any change in society can be effectively brought in provided this is sup-

ported by womenfolk. T his phenomenon has to be carefully watched and

understood as their contr ibut ion in Sewa activit y is growing in leaps &

bounds. Everyone is aware of women Seva Vratis of Hindu Seva Pratish-

tana, Karnataka but m any are not aware of women Ar ogyarakshaks of

Nort h East or teachers in city of Delhi where part icipat ion of women is in

good numbers.

from June 11 to 24, Shri

Manori pointed out that

Bharat Sanskrit Parishad is

working on the agenda to

connect the propagation of

Sanskrit with employment

generation and it is with

this objective that training

camps are being organised

at different places of the

country.

The shiksharthis are im-parted training in language,

Ayur Veda, astrology,

Yogashastra, Gandharva

Veda, writing, etc. This

training in the camps is

imparted by experts. A

total of 75 shiksharthis at-

tended the camp in Delhi.

Earlier, inaugurating the

camp on June 11, joint sec-retary general of VHP

Swami Vigyananand said

the Sanskrit scholars

would have to come for-

ward to protect and pro-

mote the language. He said

learning Sanskrit did not

mean neglecting other lan-

guages. One may learn any

language including English

but negligence of Sanskrit

would prove disastrous to

India. He appealed to San-

skrit scholars to focus on

science also through San-

skrit and explore new ave-

nues of knowledge. He also

apprised the gathering of

the information regarding

the Sanskrit gurukulas being

run in America, England,

Australia and New Zealand.

He emphasised that Bharat

can regain her glory only

through the Sanskrit lan-

guage.

Vice president of VHP Shri

Balkrishna Naik said the

Sanskrit still has worldwide

influence. He appealed to

each and every patriotic

citizen of the country to

learn Sanskrit and help in

preparing Sanskrit families.

sions included Dr Shri

be fully taken care of

even upto late 8.00

and the kids also feel

here like their own

house. Thus, it can be

imagined as to how

much and what kind of

care is required to

these kids for 9-10 hrs

daily.

Institute is also

conducting cultural

education centres

at various placesfor children be-

tween the age-

group of 9 to 14

for one or two

hours once a

week. About 250-300

children have benefited

so far. Their mothers

& sisters are also being

empowered through

Saving Groups and

thereby making them

self reliant. Shri Chait-

nya Papad Home In-

dustry is the fruit of

these endeavours.

Purpose of conduct-

ing cultural centresEvery evil, unwanted

destructive incident

taking place in the pre-

sent society is the

outcome of depriving

good cultural educa-

tion to the large sec-

tion of society. Even

the honest straightforward person who

believes in simple

living finds it difficult

to lead life and he

helplessly turns to un-

fair means.

Unfortunately, these

evils have reached our

doors now and will

enter in our house any

moment. It can be

imagined what our

sweet and cultured

children will have to

face when they come

out.

Children from rich and

educated families are

today following wrong

path of vulgar language,

unabated behaviour

and that too, shame-

lessly. This leads un-

healthy relations

among youngsters.

People around us need

to be religious, thank-

ful, industrious and selfrespecting as well as

responsible citizens so

that their life can be

peaceful. To uplift the

society in general to a

higher level of good

thinking is the respon-

sibility of the institute.

Sewa Internationals Unique Water Project

P A G E 5I S S U E 1 3 0

In the rural areas of Nalagonda district in Andhra Pradesh, India, a village

known as Mandanpally has received water filtration systems that is compa-rable to the ones in the mineral water plants in the country. This water fil-

tration systems have greatly changed the lives of the villagers in this rural

area, which lies in the mandal of Aleru. The population of Mandanpally is

around1500 among 300 families. These water systems were kindly do-

nated by an NRI residing in the United States. The cost of each system is

approximately 1.5 lakh rupees.

The water filtration systems are located in 2 water tanks around the vil-

lage. They can each produce around 500 litres of water per hour. This hasmade a gigantic impact on the people of Mandanpally.

The groundwater in the village has too much fluorine in it. This can cause

diseases such as fluor isis. This disease can cause the teeth to become dam-

aged. This high fluorine content can also cause paralysis. The filtered water

is vital for children in early development because it affects their growth.

The filtered water made available here is so good and clean that the villag-

ers now do not prefer to drink the unfiltered water again.

One June 21st, Aditya Gande, Shashi Mutyala, Thirupathaiah Gande, andShobhith Mathur visited the filtration systems. They talked with the village

panchayat members, the president of the village and several other people

residing there. They told how much it has positively impacted the commu-

nity. They also examined the water filtration system and took pictures of

the project.

Thus, Sewa International has made a tremendous impact on this village!
