TULSI PRAKALP


About the Project

Tulsi prakalp is an initiation of Bhagini Nivedita Utkarsha Mandal, a registered trust, is one such attempt at helping the needy people. The trust has focused on providing orphans and under privileged children the basic necessities of life, education and healthcare in the backward areas of thane district.

Tulsi Prakalpa Started in 1996 with an ashram for orphans and destitute children in KARAV in a temporary shed given by a Mumbai businessman. Since the accommodation was small and growing numbers needed space to expand the mandal felt the need to find a permanent place to house the ashram. A plot, of 17000 sq.ft. was generously donated to the cause by Smt.Vijaya Deo in Angaoin, a village in thane district. Today the building stands complete in its first phase of construction due to the generosity and tremendous faith shown by our patrons in India and abroad. Their unsititing generosity saw the first phase of building of 4000 sq.ft. which houses six rooms, the dormitories, kitchen and office of ashram. The Ashram is now named the satyabhama Gajanan Deo Balakashram", shifted into its new premises on the 30th July 2003.

About the Coordinator

The trust's administrator and coordinator, Prof Mores war , points out that the home is not an orphanage. The 35 children who are its inmates are either destitute or have been relinquished by their parents or relatives. "The concept of an orphanage should undergo a change. An orphanage should be more like a home than like an institution. You can fulfill the material needs of a child, but what he or she needs most in life is love. The culture and tradition is to be taught, this should be showered in abundance. So an orphanage must be more like a home where a child can get love and affection,"every child has the right to a family and to loving parents. The trust tries to ensure that all the children from ashram get great personal care. of. Moreshwar manages the ashram. He take cares of all the activities in the ashram, childrens day to day activities, studies, inheriting culture into them, counseling them, managing legal issues, traditional issues like marriage and career etc. all the children over there go to school and are doing well. The children there are bought up with all the sanskaras, like prayers, bhajans, eating together, doing there own work like washing cloths, cleaning there utensils etc, children are well disciplined, good at there studies as well as sports.
