Yes, we are talking about the differently abled people who are taken care and treated at Narayan Seva Sansthan each day. The society around us disregards people with disabilities, but it is the feeling of love that binds them together. They seek refuge in each other’s disabilities and hence they complete each other.
Narayan Seva does a noble work of tying the hearts of the underprivileged and disabled by marrying them in a Mass Marrying Ceremony specially designed and executed for people at Narayan Seva Sansthan.
Over the years of its establishment, Narayan Seva Sansthan has continuously arranged free of cost Mass Weddings for the differently abled and impoverished couples turning their life into a fairy tale.

With this initiative, 1500 such couples have been tied in the lifelong knot of marriage. This year as well, they are helping 54 couples to tie the knot in Udaipur.

Why celebrate a festival the normal way when you can give it a whole new dimension? Vrikshabandhan by Pukaar was initiated with the tenet to create lasting bonds beyond festivity.
Social Media platforms were incorporated to receive plantation requests by the locals of Udaipur city. In this three day event, 50 volunteers went to different requested areas all around the city to plant 40+ species trees from Aravali that involved Mulberry, Moringa, Neem, kikar, Baheda, Kachnar, Karanj, Aam etc.
The endeavor did not just aim towards planting trees by volunteers but also made families partake to develop an emotional attachment. People vowed to take care of their trees like one would protect their sibling. And to take it to another level, some even gave their plants names like Varsha (rain) and Ritu (season) etc.
The number of tree plantation applications received by the Pukaar team was more than 500. Moreover, an ample number of organizations such as UdaipurBlog, MDS, Mercy league, Robin Hood Army etc. supported the event.
In Udaipur, around 200 trees were planted and safeguarded not just by tree guards but also by the ones responsible for their care. The event was made succesful from the combined efforts of more than 40 people from Udaipur who enrolled themselves to volunteer in it. Team of Pukaar at Banswara also celebrated the event in their city. It was delightful to see the response and involvement that people showed towards Vrikshabandhan. This was Pukaar’s way of connecting humans and trees with an indiscernible thread.
After the massive success of Vrikshabandhan, the citizens showed their love to mother nature by contributing volunterly as ‘VRIKSHDAN- Donate for Trees’ for Pukaar’s future endeavours.

This Independence day, Max Torque Bikers group organized a rally in Udaipur. The main purpose of the rally was to raise awareness about road safety in the city. From Panchwati, Chetak, Fatehsagar to Nathdwara, the rally was stretched to about 80 km. The group educated people about basic road signs and also hoisted a flag.
Deepak Sharma, Biker, told us that ‘on the occasion, around 17-18 bikers gathered in the rally for a single cause which is safe riding and road safety. Some youngsters in the city, nowadays have forgotten the importance of wearing safety gears like helmet while riding which can be absolutely dangerous. So, it is our duty to spread the message for the safety of the people.’
Apart from the road safety, the group spread the message of ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’. Deepak further told us that they conduct such kind of rallies twice a year.

A visit to Ashadham Ashram located in a remote corner of Sajjan Nagar near Sajjangarh fort arouses mixed feelings. The sight of sick persons, men, and women, young and old, suffering from different diseases touches one’s heart. On the other hand, watching the highly dedicated team of sisters engrossed fully in caring for the inmates gladdens ones’ heart.
Set up with the aim to accept people without any discrimination of caste, creed, and religion, Ashadham Ashram believes that everyone is the child of one God and serve the destitute, the poor and the abandoned. It tries to support them mentally, physically and socially to make them lead a life full of hope, happiness, and enthusiasm. This is being done by looking after them and treating them movingly.

The story of how Ashadham Ashram was founded is quite dramatic. Sister Damian and Sister Bernadette who are members of Prabhudasi Sisters, Ajmer, were instrumental in starting this Ashram. God has wonderful plans for each one of us and without his mercy, care and help nothing can be accomplished. This has been true with Sister Damian. In the last phase of her teaching career, she thought of studying Ayurveda and serve the society. So she took permission from her Mother Superior to take this course. After the completion of her course, she along with Sister Bernadette went to Udaipur. Bishop Dr. Joseph Pathalil, to seek his blessings to start this new work. After listening to them the Bishop suggested that they should do something for the poor and needy people of the society. The sisters readily accepted this advice. Soon after this meeting, they found Lali, an 85-year-old lady lying on the roadside near Court Chouraha with both legs fractured and wounds decaying, as there was nobody to look after her. Nobody went near her as her wounds were stinking. The two sister took pity on her, bandaged her wounds gently and took her to the hospital in an auto. The doctors and nurses cured her. Every day, the two sisters visited lali with the help of the District Collector, the relations of Lali were identified and she went home. However, after a couple of days, Lali was again found lying on the road. This time, the sisters took her to a rented house arranged by a St. Pauls School teacher Ramesh Verma. They were morally supported by Advocate Fateh Singh Mehta who stood strongly with them to face all the legal challenges. Thus with its first inmate, Lali the noble mission of Ashadham Ashram started on 11th November 1997.

Within a couple of days, more such people were taken to the sisters and the number soon increased, so they were shifted to the staff quarters of St. Paul’s school with the permission of the Bishor. The people in the neighborhood were very helpful and came forward to supply whatever was headed by the inmates. As the number of the destitute increased rapidly, a generous social worker donated three lands in the suburb of the city in a locality called Sajjan Nagar and since then, the Ashram is being run there. A registered society named Ashadham Ashram society came into existence.
Ashadham Ashram is serving the abandoned and needy persons of the society by providing them food, clothing, medicines, shelter and getting treatment by admitting them to hospitals. If any relative comes to take an inmate, he is allowed to return home. Inmates who are fit enough are being trained in different skills such as rope making, paper craft, preparing vermin compost, taking care of cows, etc.
समाज बहुत राजनैतिक जगह है। अगर आप समाज में रह कर खुद को ज़िंदा रख पा रहे हैं तो यकीन मानिए आप बहुत ही अच्छे राजनेता हो। हम सभी बहुत अच्छे राजनेता है। क्योंकि हम इस समाज रूपी राजनीति में खुद को बचाने में सफ़ल रहे हैं।
प्रतीकात्मक चित्र
लोग कहते है समाज ने हमें बांधे रखा है इंसानों को बचाए रखा है। पर किस कीमत पर? इस कीमत पर कि एक माँ को उसके बच्चे से अलग कर दिया गया, केवल शक़ के आधार पर?
पुलिस को जानकारी दिए बिना, किसी संस्थान को बताए बगैर, उन 2-4-8-10-100-200 लोगो की भीड़ ने आपसी बात कर उस औरत को ‘बच्चा-चोर’ घोषित कर दिया और फिर पीट-पीटकर उसके बच्चे से अलग कर दिया और भी न जाने कितनी ही और यातनाएं दी होगी।
भीड़ को एक पल भी इस बात का एहसास नहीं हुआ होगा कि वह औरत बच्चे के नाम को चीख़ कर रो रही है, एक बार भी यह नहीं महसूस हुआ कि बच्चा अपनी माँ से बिछड़ कर किस क़दर रो रहा है?
मामले की संवेदनशीलता देखते हुए आर्टिकल में प्रतीकात्मक चित्र यूज़ किये गए हैं।
ये है हमारा समाज और यही हक़ीक़त है इस समाज की। जो कुछ लोग असल मायनों में ‘समाज’ को बचाने में लगे हैं वो सिर्फ़ ‘चारे में राई’ के समान है। उन्हें अंग्रेजी में एक्ससेप्शन कहा गया है। नहीं तो अब तक हमनें इंसानो को कभी का लड़-झगड़ कर ख़त्म कर दिया होता।
पति के हाथों गर्म जलती लकड़ीयो से कई बार दागने, उसके हाथों पीटने के बावजूद पीहर वालों ने वहां से भागी ‘कौशल्या’ को फिर ससुराल भेज दिया। आख़िरकार तंग आकर वो ‘पागल-बच्चा चोर’ बच्चे को कमर से बांधे मध्य-प्रदेश के सतना जिले से उदयपुर आ गई। लेकिन इस दौरान भीड़ ने ऊपर वाली लाइन में लिखी सामाजिक गाली का उपयोग करते हुए उससे बच्चा छीन लिया। इतना सबकुछ होने के बाद भी हमारे द्वारा बसाए समाज ने उसे कुछ दिया तो वो थी गाली – घूरती नज़रें – पीटते हाथ।
परेशां, भागती-दौड़ती जैसे तैसे अपने बच्चे को उन लोगो से बचाने में सफ़ल हुईं। लेकिन एक दिन थक-हारकर उसनें आत्महत्या का फ़ैसला ले लिया। क्योंकि ये उस राजनीति के राजनेता नहीं थी।
तभी 2-4 लोग, ये वो भीड़ थी, ‘चारे में राई के समान’ वाली। उन लोगो ने तुरंत दोनो को वहां से उठाया। cws और आशाधाम ने उसके शरीर पर लगे दाग़ भी देखे।
इस तरह की घटनाएं बहुत तेजी से बढ़ रही है चाहे वो आसाम की हो या महाराष्ट्र-पश्चिम बंगाल की या कहीं की भी हो। पूरा भारत इस तरह की घटनाओं से झकड़ा जा रहा है। यह घटना हमारे लिए एक सबक थी।
मैं यह सब लिखने से पहले आप लोगों के सामने एक प्रश्न रखना चाह रहा था लेकिन अब जब आप इस आर्टिकल को पढ़ कर इसके समाप्ति की ओर होंगे तब-तक उस प्रश्न ने आपकी आंखों के सामने एक पेंडुलम की तरह झूलना शुरू कर दिया होगा।
उदयपुर में शायद ही कोई ऐसा हो जिसनें, नारायण सेवा संस्थान का नाम न सुना हो। अब तो न सिर्फ् उदयपुर और राजस्थान ही नहीं देस-परदेस के लोगो के लिए भी यह एक जाना-पहचाना नाम बन चूका है। इसका उदहारण, हमें भी वहीं जाकर मिला जब हमनें देखा कि राजस्थान के अलावा उत्तर-प्रदेश, मध्य-प्रदेश, छत्तीसगढ़ के साथ साथ गुजरात, महाराष्ट्र आदि राज्यों से लोग अपना या अपने बच्चों का इलाज करवाने के लिए यहाँ आए हुए हैं।
यह वो लोग थे जो उम्मीद खो चुके थे कि अब कुछ नहीं हो सकता या वो भी जो पोलियो-सेरेब्रल पाल्सी के इलाज में लगने वाले खर्च का वहन नहीं कर सकते थे। टीवी, विज्ञापन और माउथ पब्लिसिटी (जो यहाँ इलाज करवा चुके हैं, उनके द्वारा बताएं जाने पर) ही इन सभी को पता लगा था कि यहाँ पर निःशुल्क इलाज किया जाता हैं। दिलचस्प बात ये भी हैं कि दूर-दराज से आने वाले लोगों को NSS(नारायण सेवा संस्थान) वाले रेलवे स्टेशन/बस स्टेशन तक लेने और छोड़ने भी जाते हैं ताकि उन्हें किसी तरह की तकलीफ़ ना हो और ये सबकुछ निःशुल्क सेवा-भाव से किया गया कार्य होता है।
नारायण सेवा संस्थान, उदयपुर में करीब 730 के आसपास एम्प्लोयी हैं जो खुद को एम्प्लोयी मानने से मना करते हैं। इन्हें ‘साधक’ की उपाधि दी हुई है और इलाज करवाने आए सभी लोग भी साधक कह कर ही पुकारते हैं।
वहां के एक साधक से बात करने पर एक अचंभित करने वाले आंकड़ा पता चला। यहाँ आने वाले मरीजों की अपडेटेड वेटिंग लिस्ट 14,000 है जो कभी 30,000 के करीब हुआ करती थी। इसी से आप अंदाजा लगा सकते हैं कि कितने और ज़रूरतमंद अपने नंबर का इन्तजार कर रहे हैं।
Sewing Machines for people
प्रशांत अग्रवाल जो कि नारायण सेवा संस्थान के जनक कैलाश ‘मानव’ अग्रवाल के बेटे हैं, उनसे हुई बातचीत में उन्होंने नारायण सेवा संस्थान के बनने से लेकर अब तक के कई किस्से साझा किए। उनमें से कुछ हम यहाँ आपके साथ शेयर कर रहे है:-
जब पिताजी ने इसकी शुरुआत की थी तब इसका कोई नामकरण नहीं हुआ था। वो बस मदद करना चाहते थे। लेकिन कुछ साल बाद किसी के सुझाव पर नाम रखने की सोची। तब इसका नाम ‘दरिद्र नारायण सेवा’ रखा गया। लेकिन माँ के कहने पर नाम से ‘दरिद्र’ शब्द हटा दिया गया।
एक और किस्सा वो ये बताते हैं कि शुरू में किसी ने पिताजी के इस काम को तवज्जो नहीं दी, उल्टा सभी इनका विरोध ही करते रहे। जिस कॉलोनी हम रहा करते थे तब सामान से लदा ट्रक आया जिसकी वजह से कॉलोनी में लगा एक पत्थर टूट गया। इस पर कॉलोनीवासियों ने विरोध करना शुरू कर दिया और इस काम को बंद करने को कहा। बाद में पिताजी के ये कहने पर कि ये एक नेक काम है और वो पत्थर में फिर से लगवा दूंगा तब जाकर वो लोग शांत हुए।

Today is International Day against drug abuse and Illicit Trafficking, the whole of the nation is talking about it. Let us have a close look at its adverse effects on our people.
On International Day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking, let us commit ourselves to fighting this problem collectively as it is crippling our society. The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act was enacted in 1985 to tackle drug abuse. pic.twitter.com/LKz7ld8OFL
The celebration of International Day against drug abuse has a special significance in Udaipur. Opium is grown in parts of Mewar and neighboring state of Madhya Pradesh. It is reported that its products are easily available in Lake city and are bought at an extremely high price. By foreign tourists, especially in the areas close to Lake Pichola. Those engaged in this business fall victims to addiction and in turn when they do not have adequate money to buy drugs, they are involved in undesirable activities.
With its determination to strengthen action and co-operation to achieve the goal of a world society free of drug abuse, the UNO General Assembly decided to observe June 26 as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking by a resolution of 7 December 1989. The resolution recommended further action with regard to the report and conclusions of the 1987 International Conference on Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. The end of the first century of drug control coincided with the closing of the General Assembly Special Session on Drugs. These anniversaries stimulated reflecting on the effectiveness and limitations of the drug policy. The review resulted in the reaffirmation that illicit drugs continue to pose a health danger to humanity. That is why drugs are and should remain controlled. With this sanction in mind, member states confirmed unequivocal support for the UN Conventions that have established the world drug control system.

Mewar and Opium
Former Professor and Dean, MLSU Dr. P.S. Ranawat says that Mewar was an important grower and exporter of opium, mainly to China. It was consumed mainly for its medicinal effects. Maharana Fateh Singh banned its uncontrolled cultivation and consumption in Mewar through his order of 1913 so as to curb the reappearance of the addiction of opium amongst the public. It is still grown under Union Govt. supervision and collected and distributed by the Narcotics Commissioner for medicinal use.

According to Dr. Ashish Ameta, drinking may cause cancer of the mouth, throat, and food pipe and mental disorders. It may adversely affect heartbeat, blood pressure and muscles of the heart. Ulcers in the stomach may result in death, these are some other ill effects of consumption of wine. Lungs and the respiratory system are likely to suffer as a result of drinking and smoking. The indirect effect on kidney may cause excessive urination. Other ill effects of drinking include insomnia, increase in weight and weakening of muscles. In males, the sperm count goes down whereas in females there is a danger of breast cancer.
So, in the opinion of Ameta, one has to keep away from drinking to be free from all these problems. He adds that as per the report of Alcohol and Drug Information Centre, out of 1,38,000 deaths due to road accidents, 40% are caused by drivers who are drunk. Drinking might make a man violent that might result in serious crimes.
According to eminent psychiatrist Dr. D.M. Mathur, the family of the addict can play an important role in preventing and curing addiction. The common symptoms to be observed include a sudden change in behavior such as frequent changes in mood, irritation etc. Keeping away from one’s family and friends, carelessness about one’s appearance, losing interest in activities such as hobbies, games and other things, change in sleeping habits- waking at night and sleeping during the day, redness in eyes, and frequent bouts of cold and cough. Mathur feels that early detection of the malady, prevention, and proactive measures can save a lot of suffering of the addicted person as well as his family.
Dr. P.C. Jain who has been running a free Nasha Nivaran Kendra for over two decades feels that addiction can be easily cured if the person is determined to give up his habit and takes regular treatment. He should tell his family, friends, and neighbors that he has decided to get rid of the habit. He should give up the company of those who are addicts and encourage others to do so. It is advisable not to keep drinks or drug at home. Physical exercise, yoga, mental rest and meditation help a lot. Keeping a diary and noting in it whenever one deviates from one’s promise not to take drugs helps a lot. Rewarding oneself for not taking drugs for quite some time is also useful. It is better to keep oneself busy so that there is no time to think about the addiction. To keep reminding oneself about the fate of the family in case one passes away due to the addiction is yet another effective measure to keep away from this deadly habit.
On this ‘International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking’, let’s come together and show our determination to fight against Drug abuse and Drug trafficking. We should spread awareness to get rid and save our younger generations from this menace. #WorldDrugDay
The concerted efforts of the govt. and several other agencies in Lake City to root out various forms of addiction, it seems, would go a long way in creating a healthy atmosphere.
Yesterday was the World Blood Donor Day (14 June 2018).
Kudos to Udaipurites for getting together to help their brother in a highly adverse situation. Recently, there was a crisis in the Blood bank of MB Hospital, Udaipur when the stock of blood came down to 77 units of blood including the 11 units that had been donated by the relatives and acquaintances of the patients. The 66 unit blood was of A+, B+, O+ and AB+ groups. 30 units were ready while 36 units were untested. This caused a big risk for those seriously injured in road accidents, complicated surgery, and blood deficiency cases. According to doctors, the situation was so bad that blood was procurementdaily from places such as Bhilwaraand Mount Abu. The hospital administration issued an alert to doctors that they should inform the patients that in case of an emergency, blood had to be procured by themselves.

Then the city woke up in response to a call by a local newspaper (Dainik Bhaskar) and organization such as Arjun Bagh, Samutkarsh Samiti, Bajrang Sena, Secure Meter, Mahesh Sewa Sansthan, Badi Sadri, Jain Mitra Mandal, Udaipur cement works for voluntary blood donation. ‘Raktadaan Jeevandaan camps were organized at several places and over 550 units of blood was collected in a short time. Then there was no need to get it from other places and it was possible to meet the daily demands of children Hospital (15 units) 240 registered thalassemia patients were (10-15 units, neurosurgery patients (10-15 units) patients in emergency (10-15 units) gynecology patients (8-10 units) and other patients (5 units). It had become difficult to meet the daily demand of 55 to 60 units, an adequate number of blood donors were not coming to the camps due to vacations in schools and colleges. Before this 50-60 units were being donated every day.
According to specialists, a healthy person can donate blood once in three months without feeling weak or any other physical problem. The donor should be in the 18-60 year age group and weight over 45 kg. He should not be a patient of serious diseases such as HIV AIDS, TB, Skin disease, Jaundice, Malaria or diabetes. His hemoglobin level should be not below 12.5 grams. He should not have had tattoo within the last one month.
Kappu- who has a world record in donating blood
According to Ravindra Pal Singh Kappu, who has set a record by donating blood over 81 times, blood donation saves lacs of human lives every year. Blood donation is the only means of securing this precious fluid that cannot be made through any process known so far. Social and religious organizations can do a lot in blood collection by enthusing their members to take part in this humanitarian activity at regular intervals. The youth can play an important role in ameliorating the pain of human being by donating blood in govt. or private blood banks in their neighborhood. It has several advantages. It keeps the level of iron normal and thus also helps in reducing the weight of the body. The biggest advantage, perhaps, is the feeling of satisfaction of doing something for the benefit of others.
According to Dr. Ramesh Joshi, Fr. Superintendent MB Hospital, Udaipur, the body contains 5-liter blood on average. The hemoglobin level should be between 12 and 16 grams. If it comes down to 2 to 2.5 grams, it is dangerous. This generally happens in cases of serious accidents. In addition to carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide to different parts of the body, blood also takes nutritive elements of the food to different organs. It also circulates the hormones secreted by different glands. Urea, cretatin, uric acids etc. are taken to the kidney by it and then expelled out of the body. The medicines taken by a patient are also carried by it. Doctors advise us to take food that contains folic acid, protein, vitamins etc. regulates to increase blood in our body. Some rich sources of these are Spinach, apple, green leafy vegetables, aamla, sprouted cereals, eggs, fish, etc. according to Dr. Sanjay Prakash, HOD transfusion medicine, seriology tests take about four hours to see whether the blood has infections like HIV, Hepatitis – A, B, Malaria etc. It takes about one hour for blood transfusion. So the blood donors, relatives, and friends are asked to reach the bank a couple of hours before.
According to Shyam Singhvi, Founder, Saral Blood bank in Udaipur the requirement of blood ranger is roughly from 20,000 to 25,000 units, out of which about 18,000 to 20,000 units are collected from volunteers. Other sources include relations, neighbors, and friends of the patients. About 90% of the requirement is met easily. And for the remaining amount, emergency calls are made to 150 to 200 donors. It can be said that nobody dies due to the paucity of blood in Lake City.
According to Dr. Chandra Mathur, former HOD, Pathology and Transfusion Medicine, RNT Medical College, Udaipur, it is heartening to see that Lake City people are becoming aware of the need of voluntary blood donation. Religious and spiritual organization such as Muslim Mahasabha, Jain World and Sikh Samaj Yuva and social organizations are also organizing camps where their members and others donate blood in large number. Recently, 400-500 unit blood was collected on Mahaveer Jayanti. People like Ravindrapal Singh Kappu, who has been honored at national and international level, chip in by creating awareness about blood donation by distributing 25000 color posters and booklet on blood donation. Dr. Mathur suggests that by making donation compulsory for getting driving license, Voter, identity card, Pan card, Aadhar card, etc. A larger number of people could be involved. Information about blood donation should also form a part of the school and college syllabuses.
Udaipurites are fully conscious of the problems related to blood donation in the city. It is evident from the fact that recently a group of blood donors presented a memorandum to the district collector to be forwarded to the CM. Uneducated villages are still being cheated by agents. In a large number of cases, the relatives of the patients are found to be ineligible as they are malnourished with low hemoglobin level. The demands of the group included the scrapping of blood donor card system and supply blood to all the needy persons.
When needed help of all the organizations should be taken privation of blood banks should be stopped. For the sake of transparency, the availability of blood in all the blood banks of the state should be made available online. No charges should be taken for blood transfusion products and tests. Storage capacity of govt. blood banks should be increased. Blood banks of private hospitals should take blood from other blood banks.
Udaipur is flooded with natural and scenic places and some are still unexplored. A great number of tourists flock to the City of Lakes as they have seen immensely alluring pictures of these places in our city on the internet. It is our duty to keep these places like in photographs.
Udaipur is a beautiful place, right? We, on a daily basis, promote our city- boast about the city- talk about the laurels of the city and think that we do a lot for our homeland. And that’s true! People are doing a lot for the city like spray painting nuisance on the walls around the city and spoiling the public places, littering where ever they wish to and the list goes on.

Exploring the city isn’t bad. Coming up with beautiful places inside the city and letting your mates know is also not bad after all places are meant to be explored. But why aren’t we just exploring them? Why are we making them places of drinking liquor or messing around with the natural beauty?
People of the city, our beautiful Udaipur, are making it rot! Where ever you go you can find bottles of alcohol or packets of chips and snacks. If not these you can find messages like “I love you…”, “Happy Birthday…”, some random group name on the rocks or walls and so on. But why?
Badi Hill spoilt by some people
Have we ever thought that by doing all this we aren’t getting any better? The city isn’t getting any better. It is just GETTING SPOILT!
Travel and explore the hidden places, this makes you learn and experience a lot about the city and as well about life and nature. Respect Your City Because It’s Your Udaipur.
Also, if you find someone doing something wrong and nonsensical at these beautiful spots, tell them to stop! It is our city and it is our responsibility to keep it clean and healthy!
I hope you all agree to this and adhere to the responsibility of cleaning and keeping the natural beauty of Udaipur intact.
