Bharat Vikas Parishad Sirsa Donates Rare Sanskrit Texts

Helping Needy Students Through a Book Bank

The branch also donated useful books to the Baba Sarsai Nath Book Bank at Shri Gaushala, Sirsa, for students preparing for competitive exams and those studying in Classes 11 and 12. Run by the Baba Sarsai Nath Book Bank Welfare Trust, the book bank provides books and study material to thousands of needy children every year.

BVP members praised the trust’s noble effort wholeheartedly and decided to continue supporting the initiative in the future. Trust President Gurdeep Saini, Joint Secretary Anil Kumar and well-known social worker Ranjeet Singh Takkar welcomed the BVP members and thanked them.

Why It Matters

The programme connects the needs of two very different groups. Rare Sanskrit and astrology texts in a college library help preserve ancient knowledge and keep it accessible to scholars. Competitive exam books, meanwhile, support students who may struggle to afford costly study material. In a book bank model, a single donated book can serve several students over the years, so the impact of each contribution lasts well beyond the day it is given.

A Week Full of Service Projects

Over the seven days of its cultural week, BVP Sirsa carried out several service activities. These included fruit distribution and service at an old age home, sanitary pad distribution for women’s health through the Chatargarh Patti Anganwadi, and the worship of girls from poor families (kanya pujan) on the first day of Navratri, along with distribution of educational material to them.

The Bigger Picture

Local social organisations often reach people that larger schemes miss. By serving the elderly, women, young girls and students through separate projects, BVP Sirsa turned its cultural week into a programme of community service rather than a ceremonial event alone.

Those Present

Present on the occasion were BVP Regional Activity Convenor (Sanskar) Hariom Bhardwaj, District Coordinator Pramod Mohan Gautam, Branch President Raghveer Singla, Sushil Gupta, and Pensioners’ Samaj District President Rajendra Gupta.
