Society in Rohtak

Rohtak is primarily a town where majority of the population is involved in the agricultural activities. It’s a place where majority of children and women in the rural communities lack reach of education. There are numerous efforts that have been made in Rohtak for the empowerment, education and health of the weaker sections of the society. Rohtak houses a myriad of welfare organizations and NGOs who work on a variety of causes for the betterment of the society. All these organizations give more significance to the charitable objectives rather than any monetary benefits. Let us explore some:

Jan Sewa Sansthan in Rohtak

The Jan Sewa Sansthan stands out among the other NGOs in Rohtak. This organization welcomes each and every one regardless of his/her caste, religion or creed. The only aim of this NGO is empowerment and social justice. It encompasses approximately 800 members who contribute money from 20 Rs to 2000 Rs every month.
 
The Jan Sewa Sansthan offers its services in the following institutions:

Mahila Ashram (Ashram for mentally retarded and old women)
Mahila ashram is located in the Sri nagar colony, Rohtak. At present there are 41 women who live in this ashram. Besides this, there are also a few mentally retarded girls and some weak and poor women who have been discarded from their houses. These women are also unable to tell about their exact residential addresses. These kinds of people are also treated here with the help of medications and are trained to execute the daily activities in the ashram.

Lala Jyoti Swarup Vriddhashram (Old age home and ashram for handicapped people)
This institution is located on Bhiwani road in Rohtak. This ashram is just 1 km away from the Rohtak’s by pass. The ashram consists of handicapped and decrepit people. This institute gives shelter to the old people who have been abandoned by their children. The ashram offers clothes, medicines, food and other kinds of necessary amenities to these people and all these services are provided absolutely free. The handicapped people are trained by expert teachers.

Saakar Gupta Anathashram (For orphans and mentally retarded people)
This orphanage is situated just opposite the Lala Jyoti Swarup Vriddhashram. Presently it gives shelter to 104 orphans. Among these orphans a few are mentally retarded, some are normal and the rest are the kids of underprivileged widows. A few children are able to read and write to some extent. Those who are mentally retarded are ignorant of their caste, creed, parents and religion. Education is provided to the kids of poor widows. On the other hand the mentally retarded kids are treated with special care and once they show some development they are asked to do their work on their own. If there is some more improvement they are made to participate in the daily activities and chores of the ashram.

Besides this the Jan Sewa Sansthan also offers employment to the poor widows by furnishing them with sewing machines. Arrangements for wedding ceremonies of the girls of the deprived widows are also made. Clothes, food and proper medical treatment are provided at the time of any tragedy or natural calamity. Ambulance services are also there when needed.
