ECO FRIENDLY GANESHA
This unique project involves the making of Lord Ganesh idols from Paper pulp. These idols are made from shredded paper of ‘Ramnaam’ notebooks used by the devotees who write Ramnaam and deposit the notebooks in the organization Aniruddha’s Universal Bank of Ramnaam (AUBR).
These idols disintegrate easily upon submersion as compared to idols made from plaster-of-paris. A notable aspect is that, paints used are non-toxic, thus controlling pollution immensely.
The volunteers of SAUF, AUBR and other organizations collectively make these idols for the Ganpati festival every year In the year 2007, the organization prepared and distributed nearly 3500 Lord Ganesh idols.
Ahilya Sang- Equipping woman with the requisite strength
Ahillya is the personification of the misery of the Indian woman; caught between the injustice of society and that of her husband. The Ahilya Sangh has been formed for suitably equipping woman with the requisite strength and resolve to counter any exploitation and to face any adversity with fortitude. All the Indian Martial Art needed for the self protection of woman have been taught to a select batch of 15 volunteers 'free of cost'. These fully trained volunteers are now, in turn, training subsequent batches, each comprising of 80 volunteers. Besides, all woman who have been wronged, or are facing a crisis situation in their lives, receive support from the "Ahilya Sangh".
Woman, who suffer because of the addiction of their husbands, also receive help from Ahilya Sangh. Till date, more than 800 ladies have been trained under the Ahilya Sangh Project. The Ahilya Sangh also undertakes tree plantation project across Maharashtra. Till date, thousands of trees have been planted across Maharashtra. The Sangh also takes care of the planted trees.
