Social Welfare dept initiative helps 95 elderly take holy dip

Wednesday, 12 February 2025 | PNS | Mahakumbh Nagar

The Social Welfare Department facilitated a holy dip for 95 destitute elderly individuals on Tuesday.

These senior citizens reside in old age homes across Deoria, Bahraich, Amroha and Bijnor districts. The department’s officials arranged transportation for them, bringing them to the temporary ashram set up by the Social Welfare Department in the Maha Kumbh mela area, by bus.

For the first time, the Social Welfare Department has set up a temporary ashram with a capacity of 100 beds in the Maha Kumbh mela area, exclusively for senior citizens. The ashram provides free food, accommodation and healthcare services for the elderly. A team of doctors has also been stationed at the camp for regular health check-ups of the elderly.

The daily routine at the ashram begins with yoga and meditation sessions, ensuring the elderly maintain their mental and physical well-being. In the evenings, bhajan-kirtan sessions are organised, offering them spiritual peace and a sense of devotion.
