SAGA of SewaSamarpan Sansthan

Sewa Samarpan Sansthan was started by Awadh Bihariji. After completion of his Master of Science, he devoted his life for social cause. Inspired for serving Mother India, he reached at Kachanarava, a small village in Chopan block of Sonbhadra District of Uttar Pradesh in 1980. This village was completely cut-off from the rest of area and it was also devoid of basic facilities for education and health. People were forced to live in primitive state, vulnerable to criminality. In such a grave situation he started his work of providing basic education to the children in a small hut. Because of his effort people around the 40km of circle got blessed with education, primary requirement for leading a better dignified life.

With the passage of time and due to his sheer effort several Balwadi Kendras were opened in surrounding villages. Within a span of ten years from 1985 to 1995, the number of such centres increased to 27. As a consequence of this self-less service, Government attention turned towards these areas and these Balwadis were converted into Government schools. Now there are only 6 Balwari Kendras running. These Balwari Kendras are running at Karail, Kachnarava, Fudnadandi, Murkatti, Sadhubathan and Saraiya.

For giving proper training to the tribal students and bringing them on single platform, Chhatrawas (hostel) was started at Bari, in Dala in 1991. It was started with eight tribal students. Presently 25 students are taken care of in this hostel. The hostel is running by the help of people around the area who are contributing generously.

Full of enthusiasm and intense desire for serving Mother Land, Munishji, just after completion of his engineering degree from IT-BHU, came to stay in the jungle at Karinar, Chapki with his colleague and social worker Harishji in 2000. They started SewaKunj Ashram for tribal students. With the selfless effort of these great souls and blessings of people in surrounded region, the capacity of this Ashram has increased for keeping sixty students. Although there is always dearth of proper resources, it was able to bring a great change in the lives of tribal-students of this district. Many students got chance for higher education. Many students got good job in Government sector. Such successes won the confidence of villagers who started approaching the Ashram willingly to keep their children in the hostel. People of this area are now feeling connected with the rest of country. They can feel the heat of development of nation by availing the facilities of these changes. Besides focusing on education, students are also taught Sanskar. They learn to live a well disciplined life and inculcate values. These values help them earning respect from their parents as well as villagers. SewaKunj Ashram has got such a fame in tribals of this area that hundreds of them are coming here with their children with the hope that their children might get chance to stay in the Ashram.

Our Mother Land has been glorified through ages by the service of her sons. In all ages many simple persons have been touching the height of greatness by their selfless and consistent service for their fellow men amidst tremendous difficulties. Anandji is such a gem in the garland of great sons of our motherland. He is well known and revered as Guruji among the Vanwasis in Sonbhadra district. After completion of his degree in Law from a reputed college in Allahabad, he devoted his life for social cause. The responsibility of Sewa Samarpan Sansthan is now on his shoulder. He has to manage everything for running the organization. Meeting enumerable people every day in the radius of 200 km for arranging resources which are always in short for the Ashram in such a remote area is the routine of Anandji. He has to move in tribal villages to guide them and help them. His true service and suffering for larger cause has enlightened many people working in companies who have started contributing generously in this great Yagna. But there is need of more and more people get connected to such great mission and become part of this by contributing in their own capacity. All must visit this place which has been turned holy by the sacrifices and touch of great souls.
