A day in the Life of.....
A person gets all kinds of service from fellow-human being
while he is alive but what after death. Most of people do not get even a proper
funeral. How many are there to serve those people who have passed away?
Very few social organisation, people with loving hearts are
rendering service to them. Mr.Shantu Kumar, a middle-class man who owns an
event management business on small scale. This person and a group of 5members dedicate
services like funeral to the unclaimed bodies. He arranges funerals to the
unclaimed bodies like persons died in the Govt. hospitals; Aged persons died in
the street, train accident victims, unknown persons dies in road accidents,
persons died due to AIDS. So far they
have arranged funerals for more than 1650 bodies with the permission of
corporation and public authorities. They are inculcating this kind of social
service in the mind of college students , school students and to all in public
through media and events. He is doing this service since 2004, When asked what
inspired him to do this service, he replied quoting “HELPING HANDS ARE MUCH
BETTTER THAN PRAYING LIPS”. This statement of his touched us. The reason behind
he doing this service was when he once saw a body affected by AIDS laying
untouched for days at the Govt. hospital where none took efforts to do the cremation.
Since then he is being doing this service.
It was a immense pleasure having met this social personality
who has been awarded the “THE REAL HERO” from Reliance group at CNN-IBN news
channel from the hands of Mukesh Ambani. He has also received several awards
for doing this service.
