"Sandhya Chhaya" means, the shadows of Evening, at the Sunset. The Senior citizens go through the similar phase of Life with shadows of Old age.
The Senior citizens go through the similar phase of Life with shadows of Old age. It’s a bitter fact that, the number of lonely and unsupported seniors has been increasing, despite sound family values of India!
Considering the plight of such desperate seniors, Smt. Madhumalti Joshi – a woman with social awareness- decided to establish a home for seniors called "Vruddhashram" in local language.
Soon, "Sandhya Chhaya" Trust was formed and Home for seniors came into reality in 1988. Smt. Indrayani Bodhankar, Dr. P.D. Joshi Patodekar, Adv. Ardhapurkar, Smt. K.R. Mewawalea, Haribhau Joshi- were amongst the active team members, initially.
Funds were raised to purchase a pre-constructed house, where the Home for seniors began.
It was named as "Rustumji Mewawala Vruddhashram" - due to generous contribution by Smt. K.R. Mewawala.
The Home - having capacity of 25 persons, has been caring for the needy seniors, for more than 25 years! The inmates - both male & female - are provided with food, clothes, shelter - FREE OF COST. Health Check up and medical aid is provided too. Television Set, Radio etc are the means of recreation! The inmates are engaged in various types of small scale productive activities. Besides this, cultural & religious programs, festive events also are arranged.
It's a FREE SERVICE and runs on charity and public funds. Govt. Aid is very nominal.
As the years go by, the needs and the demands of the society also change. Due to nuclear families and children settling down abroad and in metro cities, there is nobody at home to look after the seniors. Such seniors have sound financial position and expect shelter with finer and up to date facilities. They are in a position to pay for the services.
To fulfill these demands, "Sandhya Chhaya" has developed a new project and started a New up - to - date Branch at a different location.
A generous donation for this new project came from Mr. Prakashchand Sethi and family. Hence it is named after his mother – "Tarabai Bodhulal Jain Vruddhashram".
This newly created Home for seniors was inaugurated in January 2014. We have the plan of its expansion in future. Thus, "Sandhya Chhaya" is rendering both types of services to the needy seniors.
FREE OF COST: At Rustumji Mewawala Vruddhashram.
PAID SERVICES: At Tarabai Bodhulal Jain Vruddhashram.
Anybody from the society is welcome to support and give a helping hand for this Noble Cause!!
