tender loving care, where 4 girls, 3 boys (orphans), I Mother, I aunt(mawsi)
and I grand mother (destitute) will provide love and care to one another.
The aspirant Godparent is expected to provide a corpus of Rs. One lakh
for a child.
Total 25 Lakh for One Vatsalya
Mandir (10 House).
2.. RESTORATION OF BET DWARKA :
This blessed, holy land that witnessed
the first act of God's eternal creation, and revered as one of the four
Hindu places of pilgrimage has been badly hit by the killer - quake.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad has decided
to restore it to its pristine glory. Here are our proposals and for the
execution of our project.
1.. Reconstruction of the main temple
: Rs. 10 Lakh
2.. A full-fledged ' Yatrinivas
' or inn with 100 rooms having all amenities : Rs.1 Crore
3.. A dining - hall for 3,000 pilgrims
: Rs.50 Lakh
4.. Residential building's - 100
: Rs. 1 Crore
5.. Reconstruction of Dhamashala
: Rs. 50 Lakh
1.. VILLAGE RECONSTRUCTION
The earthquake that struck Gujarat
has reduced thousands of towns and villages to rubble. Some of them exist
only on the map. Vishwa Hindu Parishad has resolved to rebuild 7 to 10
quake affected places from the scratch. We will require Rs.1 Crore for
each reconstruction site.
2.. EKAL VIDYALAYA PROJECT : OR
GRAM SHIKSHAN MANDIR
A unique experiment in the rural
education :
One village, One teacher - school.
Informal classes for standards
: I, II and III
Villages in the border area will
have educational centres that will impart training in :
Gram sangathan - Village organisation.
Gram Vikas - Village development.
Gram seva - Social service.
Gram - Samaj Samarasta Sanchar
- inculcation of the ideal of social integration.
Gram Samrakshan - Village defence.
Rashtra raksha - National defence.
Finance Required :
For 1 school, Rs. : 125 Lakh
For 300 villages in Bhuj, Nakhatrana,
Rapar and Lakhapat talukas a Corpus fund of Rs. 4 Crore is necessary.
3.. REBUILDING OF TEMPLE - MONASTERY
AND HOLY SHRINE : Vishwa Hindu Parishad will contribute to the reconstruction
devastated temples Mamasteries and shrines. Funds received for the specific
purpose will be utilised accordingly.
4.. CONSTRUCTION OF ' HAVADO ' AND
' CHABUTRO ' : The maxim " vasudhaiva kutumbakam " - the principle of "
universal family " that seeks inner harmony with nature teaches us not
only " Live, and let others live " but " Live, and help others live ."
It is not enough to strive for the
unity of mankind. The ancient, all- embracing philosophy of Bharat does
not exclude birds and animals, even the plans and trees from its sphere
of interrelationship and co-operation. Therefore, we have decided to construct
' havado' - watering place for cows and cattle, and ' chabutro ' - a public
dovecote for birds in 100 villages of Kutch. We will need Rs. 35,000 for
each village to have ' havado ' and ' chabutro'.
