The old age home comprising of 108 rooms was approved by Government of India as a project for extending tax benefits on contributions made to it by individual / institutional donors. Aim of this project is to provide shelter, food and healthcare services to the old age persons. All these services are provided completely free of cost and to all without any discrimination on grounds of caste, creed, religion, language, economic status, etc. More than 50 % of the beneficiaries come from weaker sections of society having income lower than Rs.18,000/- year.
These facilities are only part complete and cover only 81 rooms. 27 rooms are to be constructed now with all internal and external services to complete the project. Partly completed home provides for a kitchen which is fuelled by Gobar Gas Plant adjoining it. Entire kitchen fuel requirement is met from Gobar Gas – a non-conventional and green fuel. The home has its own drinking water arrangements & electricity is obtained from State Electricity Board. The home equipped with these services will become fully operational after construction of balance 27 rooms.
