{/googleAds} Sulabh got involved after the Supreme Court chided the local bodies and expressed deep concern at their plight. A case was reported of a mutilated body found dumped in a sack, of a widow in Vrindavan.
To enhance their self respect and integrate them with the mainstream, "we have invited them to come to the national capital to attend a function. We are also going to release a book "New Life" compiled especially on them," said Sulabh Founder Bindeshwar Pathak.
Sulabh, which has already promised to ensure adequate medical care of the widows, will hand over five well-equipped ambulances exclusive for them. The ambulances would be kept on alert round-the-clock in Virandavan to meet any emergency.
Responding to the directives given by the apex Court, Sulabh has initiated a series of measures for relief and welfare of these widows in Vrindavan to ensure they led a dignified life.
"We have started giving Rs.1,000 per month to each widow living in five government-run shelters in Vrindavan. Besides that we have already opened a centre to ensure their proper healthcare and provide for their last rites," Dr. Pathak said. Our first task would be to motivate the orphans and physically fit widows to take up some vocational training programme so that they don’t become a burden on society and are able to earn their livelihood.
