Guardian Minister Bhoyar celebrates Bhaubeej with orphan girls at Wardha children's home

Guardian Minister Dr Pankaj Bhoyar celebrated Bhaubeej with orphan girls at the Ushahkal Balgruh, a children's home in Wardha. The home is run by the Sharada Kala and Cultural Mandal and receives a grant from the Women and Child Development department. The 40 girls at the home performed aarti for the Guardian Minister, after which he distributed food items to them.

Present at the event were Manisha Kurasange, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Women and Child Development; Trupti Chavan, District Women and Child Development Officer; Usha Phale, president of the Mandal; Muralidhar Phale, founder president; and Gaurav Gawande, sarpanch of Nalwadi.

The Guardian Minister said Diwali and Bhaubeej had become doubly joyous with these young sisters. He said women and girls who are orphaned or separated from their families should also share in the joy of Diwali, and it was in this spirit that he was celebrating Bhaubeej with them.

He said running a children's home was not easy, and that the organisations had been running it since last year. Obstacles arise in any good work, he said, but God is always with those who do good. Many students of the home had studied and moved ahead, found a path in life and made their lives easier. If help is needed for such work in future, it will certainly be given, he said.

The girls performed aarti for their brother, the Guardian Minister, and he spoke to them warmly. Women officers and staff of the department also performed aarti. At the start, Usha Tambe, president of the organisation, gave the introductory address. Department officials and staff and the organisation's employees were present along with the girls.
