Gandharva Samskrithika Kala Vedike(R) believes that providing equal opportunity for overall growth and development to all children, women, disabled and less-privileged, is every individual’s responsibility and not just the government’s. Only when an entire nation works towards bridging the socio-economic gap can there be a change resulting in nation’s economic progress. In a vast country like India, where this gap is big, it becomes a necessity that every citizen thinks beyond oneself and family to contribute their time and energy towards a social cause. Millions of children in our country lack basic necessities of life like food and proper shelter, let alone hygienic living conditions and education. Increasing number of women, lepers, senior citizens, physically and mentally challenged, and autistic people are making streets their homes as they have nowhere to go once shunned by family.

If each of us who are blessed with health, education and enough income, support one such less-fortunate, we can bring about the change that we all want to see.
