Anti Begging Patrolling Vehicles to eradicate child begging
|
|
|
|
|
Under the initiative of the District Magistrate of Dehradun, Mr. Savin Bansal, anti-begging patrolling vehicles were inaugurated by Hon. Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Mr. Pushkar Singh Dhami.
This program aims to address and eradicate the issue of child begging in the district. By deploying these vehicles, the initiative seeks to create a safer and more supportive environment for vulnerable children, ensuring they are guided towards better opportunities and protected from exploitation.
Aasraa is grateful to be a part of this initiative. We are running its Intensive Care Centre at Sadhu Ram Inter College, Dehradun and providing these children a chance at a brighter future.

Together, we #SpreadTheWarmth to 3,544 children!
Dehradun’s winter season is known for its freezing days & even colder nights. In January 2023, the temperature dipped as low as 4.5°C, making it vital to prepare better for this year’s winter season.
Every year, we strive to ensure that as many children as possible stay warm and safe through the harsh winter months.
Thanks to your generous donations, we have been able to provide 3544 children with essential winter kits this year.
Together, we’ve helped them brave the cold with smiles on their faces and warmth in their hearts.
