v Prajapati Hall
Bilimora was lacking a Prajapati Hall for marriage. The Prajapati Hall is being run in the building of Ashram. Equipped with all necessary things since 4 years. The hall does not have its own building therefore the income from the rent of the hall is in corporate in the fund for the building. From this, some amount is used for buying necessary utilities. From this the students of the caste are also helped if need be.
The people of other castes also take advantage of this hall. The rent taken from the our caste is half what is taken from other castes. Marriages are organized every year in the building of the Ashram.
The people of caste have given invaluable support in development of the hall. We thank the people of caste for their financial and material help, in the shopping of necessary utensils and other things. There is a long way to go in development of the hall. We request the gentlemen to help whole heartedly and co-operate in the development of the hall.
v Public Appeal
There institution of Shree Prajapati Vidhyarthi Ashram, Bilimora. It has completed 52 years and has entered in 53rd years. After the establishment of this institution, students were coming from Bilimora and from the villages around. But since last decade the situation is improved and Schools and Colleges are opened everywhere therefore the number of students reduce since 1990 and thus though of making a hall from the Ashram was considered currently the people of caste are taking benefit of hall on the occasion of marriage and others.
Many students of the society have studied in the building of Ashram and made their carrier during 1950 to 1990. During this period approximately 800 students have been benefited from this institution. These former students need to help the institution. The condition of the building is worsened. It is pity that we had sent invitations & communicated by letters with the former students who have made their carriers with the help of this Ashram, very few of them have tried to contact this institution. At this stage after reading this request the Ashram expects obligation from the students & people of caste, in the country and abroad.
If we see back, the word “GURUKUL” was used in place of “ASHRAM”. The students studied their. Those who are benefited from Ashram should be eager for the renewal of Ashram. Our ancestors have sustained the Ashram regardless of many difficulties. Keeping these things in mind we should not miss the chance to serve the Ashram by all meals. The members of the association have ventured for making the base of the association stronger and making the new building as their obligation. We except your co-operation in materializing this venture.
The association has completed 50 years & has celebrated GOLDEN JUIBLEE & credited the former presidents & ministers by Shawl. The association needs work loving & innovative volunteers.
