Surjan:

What may be the actual reason, but Surjan aged 52, a resident of Kachnarava in Kon block of Sonebhadra got severe brain haemarrhage because of excessive drinking (deshi). He was very active, fearless and ready to take community work in his hand. He is poojari of his community. Drinking is not considered bad in his community (Baiga). In fact it is said that if you can't drink you can't belong to Baiga community.

Whatever would be his personal trait, he was a nice person for his family, for the community and an active volunteer of the Ashram. Although he was a poor man, he never asked for any thing. When his child fell ill, he struggled and managed himself for medical facilities, but unfortunately his son was not saved. Once a meeting was proposed and he was called to attend that and then revealed cause of his unavailability in the meeting his son's untimely death.

As he fell ill he was brought to a local doctor (called Jholachhap, not specialist). His hospital has not facilities for test. By mere observation he told that Surjan got brain haemarrhage and he couldn't treat him properly. But on request of his family he tried his best, Surjan came in conscious, talked but again fainted in the night. Day before yesterday I was with them at Duddhi Hospital. This is only hospital covering a large area of the district. There was no light, doctors were on leave, no facilities for test and doctors were in habit of referring most of cases to better hospitals. Hospitals in villages are really in hopeless condition and people are still on the mercy of God.

Finally we decided to go BHU. Although it is a government organization, innumerable patients, they gave better initial treatment and care. Why all want to live in city, because of this difference. Although Sonebhadra produces thousands of MW electricity, but their is electricity in Dudhi hospital, but there is AC in hospitals in big cities.

As doctors after consultation among themselves refused to take case in their hand,  we brought Surjan back  in Sonebhadra. Now his life is on the mercy of God with homeopathic treatment by Maheshji waiting for some miracle to happen bringing the life of Surjan back. But there was no miracle in the life of poor. He died living his children and wife behind him to face the future problems.

University with engineering and medical faculty in Sonebhadra near Renukut area could bring solace these souls and justice to the people of Sonebhadra.

ET-11 lights Sewa Kunj

Contribution of ET-11 batch is fantastic. They have done wonderful job to regularize evening classes in EDC under the guidance of DGM (EDC). The trend which was initiated at NTPC Shakti Nagar, developing core center at NTPC Mauda (UPAY, a name given to us) and now NTPC Rihand Nagar in more vibrant form because of active participation of this batch. 

While doing commendable work here in EDC premise, they also frequently visited Sewa Kunj Ashram. They not only taught children their but also enjoyed with them by playing, listening music etc. 

Sensing the difficulty students are facing at the Ashram, they contributed some solar lamps to reduce the problem of light to some extent. This is nice trend which would inspire all the batch who will come for training in future.

Whoever went Ashram felt the warmth of service got emotionally attached to the children and people living there. One of them expressed his feeling by these words, "Sir, we really enjoyed and felt the happiness which comes by offering things." 

People are coming and going, but the idea that they would depart from this place forever really pinches all of us.

Holi-2012@SewaKunj

Holi with children! Boys at Sewa Kunj celebrated Holi with songs, worship and rejoiced by pouring colour on each other. Just after prayer early in the morning all gathered at one place with musical instruments. They started their Holi with Kirtan and Bhajan. Some of them were so verse in raising boli that others started dancing, clapping on the platform. The moment one stopped singing, the sound of clapping started diminishing, children were about to stop dancing, then some other students raised more emphatic bhajan leading all again in action. All looked very happy and in rejoicing mood. This continued for two hours till they became exhausted and went for taking breakfast. 

Just after breakfast all gathered at shiv mandir, worshiped lord shiva and poured two buckets of color over him and then started pouring, throwing colour on each other. Some are fleeing, others are chasing with color. Some boys were rubbing dry color on face giving look of ghost. Again some started beating plates, some are singing and the rest were jumping and dancing. Some elders from nearby village came and rejoiced us with songs.
   As usual all moved to the village where people were eagerly waiting to welcome us with color and some eatables. Villagers were drunk, but they rejoiced with us in cultured way. At the end following the tradition all gathered at the place where Holi was started by burning heap of twigs previous night. They worshiped God and aired the ash.
Holi is a festival of joy, reunion shedding all the grudges of the past for each other. All meet with each with smiling face, wishing well being of each other. On returning we all met to our acquaintance put some abir on their forehead and hugged each other.
