Sathya Sai trust to adopt
60 children and provide them free education
PUTTAPARTHI: Moved by media reports
that a widow poisoned her three children before committing suicide
due to abject poverty near Puttaparthi a few months ago, Sri
Sathya Sai Central Trust have launched Sathya Sai Deena
Janoddharana Pathakam recently.
Under the scheme, the
Trust officials have identified and adopted 60 orphan and poor
children in residing in Puttaparthi, Bukkapatnam and Kothacheruvu
mandals. They have been admitted to the various education
institutions managed by the Trust and would be provided with free
education upto post-graduation level.
Announcing this
during the 21st convocation of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of
Higher Learning here, Sri Sathya Sai Baba donated Rs 1 lakh to
each student, which would be deposited in a bank and handed over
to them with interest after their studies.
To meet this
commitment, Sai Baba handed over a cheque for Rs 60 lakh to
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, a former IAS officer, who is in-charge of
the scheme.
In the course of his address, Sai Baba said
that when someone enquired him about his properties he had replied
that children were his wealth, and then turned towards the large
gathering of students sitting in the aesthetically-decorated Sai
Kulwanth Hall. The devotees applauded loudly. "The students should
take this an example and emulate me by helping the poor and
needy," Sai Baba added.
