Inauguration of ashram building is done by Shri Rajshri Puroshotam Das Tandon Ji in 1931. Its fundiong is governed by Arya Samaj Dhamawala Dehradun. This Ashram was truly made by the inspiration of Swami Shradhanand Ji Maharaj. To pay homage to Swami Ji later the Ashram was converted to his memorial and renamed as Shri Shradhanand Bal Vanita Ashram from Arya Ananthalaya. After some time the the word Ananthalaya (Orphanage) was also removed. Now the name was Shri Shradhanand BalVanita Ashram, this was an evidence where the children residing in Ashram denied from being called as anaath and adopted children as their own.
Foundation was Laid by Mahatma Gandhi Ji in 1929.
Secretary’s Message
Food. Clothing. Education. A safe and loving home. Things that most of us take for granted. Yet, millions of children around the world suffer without these most basic elements of life due to neglect, abuse and abandonment by those they should be able to trust and count upon the most.
A young boy or girl in India not only lives on the streets and is forced to beg or scour through the garbage for food, he must try to provide for his younger siblings as well – all of them innocent victims left behind in the aftermath of genocide.
