PR Activity of NGO - Sahajeevan Old Age Home of Sutika Seva Mandir.


One of our old customer and friend Dr. Dilip Deodhar who is a trustee of Sutika Seva Mandir (Dr. Kamlabai Godbole hospital- Laxmi Road, has recently constructed Old Age Home at Bhugaon, near Pune.  On Sunday April 28, 2012 Dr. Deodhar had arranged visit of Donors to the Old Age Home. Now the construction is in final stage. The entire Old Age Home is constructed on funds raised through donations right from rupees one hundred to rupees fifty lakhs. Dr. Deodhar had particularly arranged this visit to give information that how donation amount is effectively utilized for the purpose.  Almost 50 Donors were present on the occasion. 
Dr. Deodhar gave the information about Old Age Home.  Facilities such lobby, multipurpose hall for yoga and entertainment, rooms for doctor as well as staff, spacious lift which can carry stretcher, solar energy system, library and many small things which will give comfort to old people are made available with thorough planning. Dr Deodhar mentioned that Sutika Seva Mandir do not accept any donation, subsidy either from government or from any Political Party.  
Actual land is owned by Kiran Thite who is Builder by Profession. Somewhere in 2004 Dr Deodhar and Kiran Thite visited the plot and started planning constructing Old Age Home.  Both had no money and decision was to construct entire project without government aid and subsidy or donation from political person or party.  Dr Deodhar appealed all his well wishers and known people to help. In response to the appeal made by Dr. Deodhar, people responded and donated about rupees two and half crore amount. During last one and half year construction activity took speed and now they are confident that the New Sahajeevan Old Age Home which will accommodate approx 40 persons will be ready by June 2012.
One can see this visit as a PR Activity which offered benefits like mouth Publicity and strengthening credibility in the minds of existing as well as prospective donors.  This also gave great satisfaction to the entire staff of Sutika Seva Mandir which will help boost their moral for future activities.
