Ram
Nivas, a resident of Munger District in Bihar working as a Cycle Rickshaw
Puller in the Streets nearby Delhi University lost his right foot toes except
big toe due to an accident five years ago. A big wound now added to this
making him completely incapacitated to do his daily earning work of pedaling
his cycle rickshaw, he lost his sleep also completely owing to the severe pain
for the last two months.
Ms.
Meenakshi Banja of Times Now and the Good Samaritan for the downtrodden people
in her area, as usual, informed us about the plight of this street dwelling
patient.
We
got his wounds cleaned, dressed up from Safdarjung Hospital and then started
hunting for a place with a roof to accommodate so as to save him from the
biting cold of this chilly winter.
After
a good drive till Fortis Hospital followed with heavy traffic on the Vasant
Kunj area and thereafter the real bumpy way, which cannot be qualified in the
name of a road, finally we (Suresh and I), the volunteers of DNipCare, reached
the Ashram for destitutes at Rangpuri Pahari Road, Mahipalpur headed by Mr.
Ravi Kalra.
Thus
we ended up in the Earth Saviours Foundation located in the remote hilly area
of Mahipalpur. Many numbers of patients, majority of them suffering from
mental disorder and a sizable number of bedridden patients also are brought by
either Police on Court orders or hospitals, organizations and individuals and housed
in this Gurukul Vridhashram. Despite the difficulties of the diseases
they are suffering from, almost all of the inmates were found to be having a
smile of relief and relaxation on their faces. Though reluctantly, but on
the consolidation that it is not for himself entirely, but for providing him an
opportunity to serve the more debilitating patients, Ram Nivas agreed to stay
in the Ashram till he gets his wound cured completely to get back to his
Rickshaw pulling to earn and send meager sum to the waiting kids and wife in
his remote village in Munger.
The
pleasant smiling Mr. Ravi Kalra, the founder of the organization, like a father
figure for all these society's unwanted destitute people, walking from one tent
to the other ensuring that none is suffering from biting cold or hunger.
