The Ashram is involved in a number of social causes for the local villagers, most of whom remain below the poverty line. Sirmaur district, where the Ashram is located is considered to be the most backward in the state of Himachal Pradesh. The Ashram’s mission is to enhance and work for the social and economic development of the local area. Every winter, blankets and other warm clothing are distributed amongst them. After a wave of interest from a number of devotees who wish to contribute to their well being, we have initiated the following programs

Sri Badrika Ashram Emerging Youth Scholarship Scheme – पढ़ो और बढ़ो

Sri Badrika Ashram has launched a Scholarship for Higher Education targeted at the rural population of the state of Himachal Pradesh, mainly for students belonging to BPL families. Access to quality education is fundamental to the growth of India. We hope to contribute in a small way to this endeavour through this scheme. In addition, we aim to be the flag bearers of providing both need-based and merit-based educational assistance in the state. For more information, please go here.

Gaushala – Cowshed

The Gaushala in the Ashram was inaugurated by Swamiji in 2015. His vision is to protect the Indian cow and increase the number at the Ashram considerably. Currently, there are more than 20 cows and calves, which require constant care and nourishment. The right fodder and medicines makes all the difference to their health and upkeep. If you wish to participate in the monthly upkeep of cows, please write to contact.omswami@gmail.com.

Dispensary – Sri Hari Chikitsa Kendra

Ashram has a small full-fledged dispensary where we provide free medical consultation and some basic medication to the villagers. There are no health facilities nearby. The closest hospital is in Solan which is roughly forty kilometers away. Currently, some doctors have volunteered to travel all the way to the Ashram from Solan once a week. Going forward, we would like to grow this so we can offer free healthcare to all the villagers most of whom live below the poverty line. You can make a one off or monthly contribution to participate in this cause. Over time, we plan to offer more medical facilities and hold regular medical camps. If you have any questions about it, you can contact Ma Shamata Om on contact.omswami@gmail.com.

Silai Kendra – Stitching Centre

Our goal to empower local women and create a sustainable livelihood for them is through starting a stitching centre where they can learn to how to stitch clothes. The purpose of the stitching centre is to provide the women with valuable skills and knowledge so they may have an opportunity to earn income and be financially independent. Alongwith their learning activity, they are also executing small projects wherein they are making a simple line of clothing for men and women. If you wish to support them for procuring cloth and trimmings or through projects, please write to contact.omswami@gmail.com
