Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 AUM MAKE INDIA GREEN The children of "Jeevan Prabhat" celebrated the Golden Jubilee of Arya Samaj Gandhidham by planting 121 trees at “Rishi Udyan. The children have adopted the slogan “Grow More Trees” in accordance with the Hon’ble President Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam’s advice to the children of India, that they should at least plant and maintain TEN trees in their lifetime so that India becomes green. Arya Samaj Gandhidham celebrated its Golden Jubilee on 18/03/2004. The tree plantation was done with the help of the members of the Indian Army stationed at Gandhidham. Colonel Ashok Upadhyaya and his team had made all the preparations for the plantation ceremony. At the start of the ceremony Shri Vachonidhi Arya (Hon.Gen.Secretary) gave a brief account of the history of Arya Samaj Gandhidham in the past fifty years. Shmt. Rupa Bhati the designer of "Rishi Udyan" explained to the gathering about this project and the way "Rishi Udyan" would be different from the general gardens. Two of the surviving founders of Arya Samaj Gandhidham Shri Valjibhai.Ravjibhai.Patel Past President (the father of our present President Shri Purshottam Patel) and Shri Bhikhubhai Gohil were commemorated on this occasion. Shri Valjibhai.Ravjibhai.Patel said that in the past people never gave Rs. 1.25 for any good cause and they had to struggle very hard for funds but now people have become very generous and are even donating Rs. 1.25 Lacs for the good causes taken up by Arya Samaj Gandhidham. Shri Bhikhubhai Gohil also said that he was very pleased with the progress Arya Samaj Gandhidham has made under the leadership of this young team since 1986. In the end Colonel Ashok Upadhyaya of the Indian Army praised the work of Arya Samaj Gandhidham and said that he along with his team members would Donate New clothes for the children.
