One of the worst earthquakes in the history of our country to place in Gujarat on the 26^th  jan,2001 practically destroying a number of villages in Kutch, Rajkot, Jamnagar,Surendranagar and Ahmedabad districts more than 30,000 people are feared to have died and few thousands are buried under the debris of collapse of buldings.

“Sewa Bharati, Gujarat” ,in coordination with Rashtriya Swayamsevek Sangh is active in the relief and rehabilitation work from day one. 25000 Swayam evaks have been at work .600 doctors are team wise working at different places. They have performed 1000 operations and treated 19000 patients. 12000 persons have rescued alive where as 5000 bodies have been cremated.

FUTURE PLANS:

A number of children who have lost their parents or at least one of them need to be rehabilitated. Similarly many old men and women are rendered destitute.

An orphanage for these children and old age home for the old are to be set up.

Number of severely affected villages will be adopted for overall development and complete rehabilitation work would be taken up our various organizations.

It is but natural that on humanitarian grounds, you will have your sympathy towards those who have lost not only their house and property but also lives of their family members. Materials most needed for rescue and rehabilitation are mostly available locally but huge finances are necessary to meet the demand.

It is an earnest appeal for liberal donations towards this cause.
