ORIGIN / FORMATION OF SANSTHA

It can no longer be denied that aged people need care, regard, solitude and commiseration and if they don't get the same in the joint family system in their homes, then "Homes for the aged" is the need of the hour.

With this objective in mind, a core group of above said people came forward and constituted a sanstha named as "Hari Prabhu Sanstha" on 24th July 2004 (a Non-Government Organisation) and got it registered vide no: 4801-S of 2005 under J&K societies Act IV 1998 (1941-AD).

The initial project which Sanstha envisaged to take up was the construction of "Hari Prabhu Ashray" "A Home" for the aged, orphans', widows, destitutes, and uncared for people of the most neglected and backward areas, at the most fascinating site, located exactly on Dhar-Udhampur Road, at Nagrota Gujroo, Tehsil-Ramkot, District Kathua.

A piece of land measuring 3.5 kanals was donated by Swami Hari Bhagat Ji Maharaj, a spiritually evolved and highly motivated personality, adjacent to the famous Durga Temple Complex.

Vision

To build a compassionate and inclusive society where elderly people, widows, orphans, poor students, and underprivileged families live with dignity, care, support, and equal opportunities, while promoting humanity, social welfare, education, healthcare, and self-reliance through dedicated community service.

Mission

  1. To make provision for all obligatory facilities for the inmates of the Ashray i.e. boarding, lodging, health care and recreation.

  2. To sponsor poor, most deserving and meritorious students of all sections of society through scholarships in order to enable them to prosecute their higher studies.

  3. To facilitate marriage of girls belonging to poor families.

  4. To provide financial, moral and otherwise support to widows wherever needed.

  5. To organise eye operations and general Medical Check Up Camps.

  6. To make it a regular feature to arrange awareness camps for the prevention of fatal diseases like AIDS, Hypertension, Diabetes, etc.

  7. To systematize and conduct Yoga camps/classes for all age groups.

  8. To arrange awareness camps with the collaboration of all like-minded agencies, corporations, organisations and Government Departments, particularly the Rural Development and Social Welfare Department, in order to make the public conscious and cognizant of Government Sponsored Poverty Alleviation Programmes.

  9. To seek co-operation of different impelling forces and agencies i.e. Government, society, social organisations and individuals to complete the mission in the right earnestness.

  10. To impart skills, techniques, dexterity, artistry and arrange different vocations for unemployed youth of the area to enable them to join different occupations and earn their livelihood.
