Review for India Development and Relief Fund (IDRF), N Bethesda, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

President Rajkripal— IDRF/Shiksha Bharti, Hapur U.P.

I remember that a delegation of Shiksha Bharati, a girls’ education based institution, had visited U.S.A. for the purpose of raising funds and informing people about the objectives of Shiksha Bharati in 1997. We met Sh. Vinod Prakash Ji (President, I.D.R.F.) and his family in Washington.

I remember that he inspired us to purchase maximum land for the school at first instance; otherwise land will not be available for purchase in future or would be very costly. We readily agreed to Sh. Vinod Prakash Ji's view and now it proved to be a correct and Shiksha Bharati saved a lot of money because of his valuable advice.
He is so passionate about India that he put his whole time for IDRF and most of work is being done by him and he gets the whole hearted support of Sarla Prakash ji. She is always with him whether in daily working of IDRF or his IDRF based work. Not only both have dedicated their life to IDRF but also they have inspired their children to support the cause of supporting the people in need especially in India.

I got so amazed to know that these people work so much without much support so that most of money is being sent to project activities in India. They are truly an example of high thinking and simple living. Their love for people in need is unmatchable.
Both of them are persons of ethics, highest values and fighting spirit for any cause/ truth which we have seen in last fifteen years.

The Hostel for Banvasi girls was established by the financial help of I.D.R.F. Sh. Vinod Prakash Ji often visits India with his wife Smt. Sarla Prakash Ji and inspects the projects funded by the I.D.R.F. He gives valuable suggestions for the Banvasi Hostel in the campus of Shiksha Bharati. We always look forward to his advice and implement the same in our institution and lives.

He is providing financial help and motivation for underprivileged people of India. I got opportunity to see Tribal Boys Sr. Secondary Residential School (Sewa Dham), Mandoli managed by SEWA Bharati-Delhi, hostels for Orphan Boys and Girls (Jeevan Prabhat), managed by Arya Samaj Gandhidham (Gujarat) projects. It is totally a worthy effort by him as the society is getting sufficient advantages from these projects. The children living in ‘Jeevan Prabhat’ under the supervision and direction of Sh. Vachonidhi ji are now parented by this project who were orphan.

Mrs. Reena Goyal visited IDRF hostel at Shrimati Brahma Devi Saraswati Balika Vidya Mandir in February 2014, to donate some dresses & books to the girls residing at IDRF hostel. After the visit, she was very impressed with the work of providing quality education to the girls from the deprived section of the society especially from the North-East state of India. She was very kind to adopt two girls immediately, and start supporting the expenses occurs for education, lodging, boarding etc of the said girls.
Later on when she returned to U.S.A., she started a campaign to support the girls of IDRF hostel for their education. Fortunately many people came forward to adopt these girls. It is a matter of pleasure that the number of such kind donors reached up to 35 in very short time.
At present there are 90 girls were getting education from 8 North-East state, Laddakh and Chattisgarh etc. These donors also help to obtain higher education to these girls.
We would like to state that most of the girls who had finished their education from this campus are successful in their lives. Vishnupriya was the first girl of hostel, now she is a teacher in her native place. Anjana is a yoga instructor at Haridwar. Kanchey is a successful entrepreneur and living in her native place.

We are also organizing career counseling classes, Personality Development Classes & Vocational classes for better future of these girls.

Today I.D.R.F. and the associated project are moving towards the advancement due to his determination.
