Republic Day @ Srisri Seva Mandir Indirapuram

In late 90s many construction companies started their projects in Indirapuram area on Ghaziabad-Noida border. Labor for this construction work were migrants from the state of Bihar, West Bangal, Orrisa, MP etc. These families moved here and were living (and lot of them are still living) in poor hygiene conditions with no education facilities. In 2002 a team of volunteers lead by Monika started a school in the slums of Indrapuram just behind Shipra Sun City.


The small step...

This is where it all started in 2002, in a small juggi with 30 children from these slums. School is one project which needs consistent commitment (at least from the teachers). Administration, financial support etc can be voluntary. Some full-time teachers joined in and organization like Cadence Design Systems, Asha Munich Chapter started supporting the projects.

The team at work...


Last few years, a team of Art of Living volunteers of Indirapuram and Noida-62 area lead by teachers Rajendra and Sonia ji are nurturing these plants.



It gave me immense satisfaction to be the part of this republic day celebration with around 170 students, 5 teachers and a team of motivated volunteer at SriSri Tapovan Seva mandir Indirapuram.


When the seeds of good deed are sowed and nurtured with the spirit of sewa, the beautiful flowers blossoms as result.




Many such schools are needed!!!

Why can't you be the part of another such inspiring script...

With Love
