The Samoon Foundation team delivered rations to the Kailashi family in their village.

Date – Monday, June 20, 2023 

The Samoon Foundation team delivered rations to the Kailashi family in their village. It is important to note that Kailashi's hands and legs stopped functioning after a fall at school, but thanks to the continuous treatment, there has been improvement. Kailashi's father is also disabled, which has made the family's situation dire; they don’t even have money to buy rations. Keeping this in mind, the rations were sent.

The Samoon Foundation has also been providing continuous support for Kailashi’s treatment—₹17,000 in February and ₹20,000 in April, totalling ₹37,000 in financial assistance so far.

Outside Medanta in Gurugram, Samoon's founder Mr. Vinod Singh provided breakfast to two children who were polishing shoes.

Date – Thursday, July 19, 2023

Outside Medanta in Gurugram, Samoon's founder, Mr. Vinod Singh, was having breakfast when two young boys approached him, asking, "Sir, can you get your shoes polished?" Mr. Vinod Singh replied, "I don't need my shoes polished, but would you like some breakfast?" The boys said they didn't want breakfast but asked for flour, explaining that they had an elderly grandmother at home for whom they would make bread.

Mr. Vinod Singh asked where their parents were, and the boys replied that their parents had left them with their grandmother and that they lived in a makeshift hut, taking care of her. Mr. Vinod Singh was compelled to reflect on how any parent could leave their children behind.

 

He invited the boys to have breakfast with him and then took them to a nearby store where he provided them with the necessary rations. After that, he booked an auto to take them home. The boys invited Mr. Vinod Singh to their hut for a meal, but due to his busy schedule, he couldn't go, although he genuinely wished he could.

The brief encounter felt like a long-standing connection with the children, and their faces radiated joy and peace. Moments like these remind us to share small joys with others, and believe me, the inner happiness you receive cannot be expressed in words.

the Samoon Foundation organized a cleanliness awareness rally and Ganga cleaning drive in Rishikesh. The rally began from Koyal Valley, passed through AIIMS Road, and ended on Bairaj Road. Following the rally, the banks of the river (ghats) were cleaned along Marine Drive (Aastha Path).

 Date – Saturday, June 18, 2023

Under India's presidency of the G20, the principle of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (the world is one family) reflects the essence of Indian culture, which encompasses the welfare of all living beings. Indian culture is renowned for its emphasis on charity and service, teaching us the values of compassion, empathy, and respect for all, and inspiring us to live in peace and harmony.

C20 India 2023 is one of the official engagement groups of the G20, aimed at inspiring people selflessly for social causes and providing a platform for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) across G20 countries.

Under the banner of C20, the Samoon Foundation is preparing to organize a cleanliness awareness rally in Rishikesh on June 18, 2023, Sunday, from 8 AM to 12 PM. The rally will start from Koyal Valley, passing through AIIMS Road, and ending at Bairaj Road. Following the rally, there will be a cleaning drive along the riverbanks at Marine Drive (Aastha Path). Preparations and outreach efforts are underway to involve as many members as possible.

Under the G20, the C20 engagement group organized by the Samoon Foundation held a cleanliness awareness rally and Ganga cleaning drive on June 18, 2023, Sunday, from 8 AM to 12 PM in Rishikesh. The rally commenced from Koyal Valley, passed through AIIMS Road,

and concluded at Bairaj Road. Subsequently, there was a cleaning drive along the riverbanks (ghats) at Marine Drive (Aastha Path). Members of the Samoon Foundation team, including Jitendra Jardhari, Kamal Joshi, Vikram Shah, Sita Payal, Surendra Singh Negi, Shanti Prasad Joshi, Rajeshwari Devi, as well as the Rishikesh Municipal Corporation team, UPES University students, local residents, and social workers participated in the event.

The Ganga is not just a river but a glorious symbol of Indian culture. Known by 108 names such as Devnadi, Jahnavi, Vishnupada, and Shivshishdharini, the Ganga was once revered as a sacred river with water considered as “amrit’ (nectar) . However, today, the Ganga’s water is not even fit for drinking. Factories, rivers, drains, and urban waste have polluted the Ganga, and its contamination is increasing day by day.

It is the responsibility of all citizens to collectively maintain cleanliness in our homes, villages, streets, neighborhoods, cities, and workplaces, and to keep the Ganga flowing from our cities clean. This will help present our country as an ideal nation to the world.

By raising awareness about the Swachh Bharat Mission along with the Ganga cleaning campaign, we can certainly protect the Ganga’s water from further contamination. This is why we named the campaign "Swachh Bharat Ki Pavitra Ganga" (Clean India’s Sacred Ganga).When the Ganga, flowing with a melodious sound from the mountains, enters the cities, it loses its purity and changes its form. Rishikesh is the first city where the Ganga meets the city, which is why we chose to conduct this cleanliness awareness rally and Ganga cleaning drive in Rishikesh. Through this cleanliness awareness rally and Ganga cleaning drive, the aim was to raise awareness among people about cleanliness and the importance of cleaning the Ganga, encouraging them to avoid polluting the Ganga and to contribute to making their city clean and beautiful.

On the occasion of Tobacco-Free Day, the students of Samoon Computer Training Institute organized an art and essay competition to promote awareness and encouraged the avoidance of tobacco use in the community.

Date – Sunday, May 31, 2023

Young people are the country's greatest asset, but today, our youth are increasingly afflicted by the serious disease of addiction. Substance abuse has become a habit in the lives of today's youth, and they have become enslaved to it. Therefore, it is our duty to launch widespread awareness campaigns to free the youth from this addiction.

For today's youth, consuming intoxicants such as alcohol, cigarettes, “bidis”, opium, and heroin has become a trend. Although de-addiction campaigns are being run to combat substance abuse, the number of addicts has been steadily increasing over the past few years. People are intent on ruining their own futures and that of their loved ones through addiction, so we need to make efforts to overcome this issue.

On May 31, 2023, on the occasion of World No Tobacco Day, the students of Samoon Computer Training Institute organized an art and essay competition to promote awareness and encourage the avoidance of tobacco use in society. In this competition, Miss Jassi Rudhiyal secured the first place and Divya Semwal secured the second place.

Let us come together to build a drug-free society and pledge not to use substances, committing ourselves to eradicate the scourge of addiction from society.

On the occasion of the first birthday of Mr. Sunil Nautiyal's son, Advik (Adi), stationery and sweets were distributed to the students studying at Samoon Adarsh School in Osla village. Mr. Sunil Nautiyal is a respected member of the Samoon family

Date – Sunday, May 14, 2023

Many best wishes were extended to Advik (Adi) on the occasion of his first birthday. He is the

son of Mr. Sunil Nautiyal, a respected and esteemed member of the Samoon family who has

donated every month for the past 12 years. On this special occasion, stationery and sweets

were delivered to the students studying at Samoon Adarsh School in Osla village through the

family.

Donating on one’s birthday significantly increases the blessings you receive. In earlier times,

piety was highly valued, and even the items donated by pious people were considered

important. However, in today's materialistic age, piety is lacking among people. During your

birthday, you are considered pure and free from any impurity, making it a particularly

auspicious time to give donations. Thus, it is highly beneficial to make donations on your

birthday whenever possible.

The children studying at SAV-Osla sent many birthday wishes to Advik (Adi).

The construction work of Samoon Adarsh School building in progress.

 

Date – Sunday, May 14, 2023

In the previous financial year 2022-23, land levelling for the construction of the Samoon Adarsh School building was completed. In May, the foundation work began, and the construction of walls started.

The construction work is proving to be more challenging than initially anticipated. Due to the extremely difficult terrain, no contractor or labor is readily willing to work there as there is no mobile network, no electricity, and no road access. Reaching Osla village requires traversing 16 kilometres of rugged, footpaths, along with dealing with severe cold, snowfall, and rainy weather.

Despite offering attractive wages, three contractors rejected our offers. However, the work has restarted and is progressing rapidly. By May 2023, we have invested ₹12 lakh in the construction of the school building.

Although there have been delays, the work is progressing with high quality, and we will soon achieve our goal. The construction of the school building is made possible through the donations and efforts of all the esteemed members of the Samoon family, especially Mr. Ramesh Inderdutt Naithani, to whom we express our deep appreciation and praise.

                                                          

Date – Thursday, June 1, 2023

Heavy torrential rains, occasional snowfall, hailstorms, biting cold, and the even greater

challenge of a 16-kilometer footpath to the project site, where there is no electricity, no network, no first aid, and no machinery to expedite the work—despite these complex problems, we remain steadfast in our mission for the bright future of the children of Osla village. Gradually, the work on this magnificent temple of Goddess Saraswati is progressing, and the day is not far when the grand building of Samoon Adarsh School will be ready. This has been made possible through the exemplary support of all the esteemed members of the Samoon family, for which you all deserve our deepest gratitude.

During the two months of heavy rainfall in July and August, all the roads leading to Osla, the last village in Uttarkashi, were completely damaged. As a result, we were unable to transport construction materials to Osla via the 16-kilometer footpath, and were compelled to halt the construction work on the school building.

Date – Monday, September 4, 2023

In September 2023, the rain stopped and the roads cleared, allowing us to resume transporting materials by mule. Therefore, the construction work for the Samoon Adarsh School building has restarted, with the aim of completing it by March of this session so that the school can move into the new building for the next session.

With the special support of Mr. Ramesh Inder Naithani, work is progressing, and so far,

₹20 lakh have been spent. It is estimated that an equal amount will be needed to

complete the project, for which Mr. Naithani has assured every possible assistance.

Financial assistance for a differently-abled person suffering from a brain hemorrhage.

Date-22/02/2023

 Anil Suyal, son of the late Mr. Jashodar Prasad Suyal and a resident of Gram Swadi, Tehri Garhwal district, was a physically handicapped individual. On 7th October 2022, he suffered a brain haemorrhage, which put his life at risk. At that time, he was struggling between life and death in the hospital, and the daily cost of his treatment was at least Rs. 3,500. Given the absence of an earning member in his family and with three young children to care for, their financial situation was extremely dire. Hence, they appealed to everyone, as fellow human beings, to kindly extend their support so that Anil could receive proper medical treatment and stay with his family. Contributions, according to individual capabilities, greatly assisted in their sustenance and treatment. For more information, individuals were requested to contact a family member who remained with them. At that challenging time, the Samoon Foundation was actively involved in assisting Anil Suyal and his family. They supported medical expenses and ensured that Anil received the necessary treatment. The foundation continued to work towards the well-being of Anil and his family, expressing gratitude to all the donors who had contributed to this cause. Anil has now been discharged and is not completely stable. The monthly expense for his medication was Rs. 17,500, which became extremely challenging for the family to bear. They humbly requested all generous donors to contribute whatever they could, so Anil Suyal could care for his family and afford his medication.
