No One Has Ever Become Poor By Giving!
No One Has Ever Become Poor By Giving!
I, Babu Lal Singh, completed my B.A. from Allahabad University in the year 2004, after which I moved to Delhi for higher studies. While staying in Delhi, I completed my M.A. and B.Ed. and began preparing for competitive examinations (Civil Services).
In August 2012, I was standing at Shivaji Stadium (Connaught Place), waiting for a bus. Nearby, there was a dustbin, where I noticed an elderly beggar picking up food from it and eating. Seeing this scene caused immense pain in my heart, and I felt a strong urge to do something for such helpless and destitute people.
After some time, I returned home, but that scene continued to replay in my mind. After deep reflection, I realized that even if I were to become an I.A.S. officer, my goal would still be to serve society—so why not begin serving society right away? At that moment, I decided to work for helpless children, the elderly, and beggars.
I began by supporting the education of a child in R.K. Puram. Today, that girl is pursuing her B.A. from Delhi University. As this work progressed, I discussed my efforts with friends and seniors. During these discussions, some seniors suggested that to continue such work in the long term, a structured organization would be required, which could be established through an NGO.
After careful thought and deliberation, in October 2014, I registered an NGO at the national level named “Punarjagran Samiti”, which currently has 9 members.
Today, we are actively working in six states of India — Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttarakhand.
Through all these centers, a total of 6,410 trainees and students have benefited so far.
