Vipul Narang, Project Coordinator, during a visit to Home for Blind had felt the need for an e-rickshaw for the day-to-day movement of the inmates due to over-crowded traffic on the roads.  Vipul, in his young age, is fully dedicated to the social causes with selfless service, with ‘tan-man-dhan/body-soul-wealth’ who has a major contribution of Rs.60,000 in donating the e-rickshaw in association with the Mayank Foundation on his birthday. He is also actively associated with the Mayan Foundation, Ek Paryas Society, Bal Gopal Gaushala, and Rotary International Ferozepur Cantt.

Anirudh Gupta appreciating the initiative to hand over the e-rickshaw to Home for Blind said I feel pleased with the youngsters coming forward to help the needy class.  Giving a word of advice, he said, the local NGOs in their future projects must keep in mind the services on a need basis which could be more useful to them.

Ashwani Sharma thanked one and all present for taking care of the visually impaired inmates of Home for Blind and today’s gift of e-rickshaw would help in their mobility locally for going to the college, hospital, railway station, etc.
