He suggested that villages in and around DHARMAPURI DISTRICT, where tribal’s live in large numbers with no one to support them in terms of Health and Educational assistance, may be preferred to enjoy the fruits of the scheme. Sri. Gopal Agarwal, Trustee, Mr. Chidambaram Nathan, president “Tamilnadu Handicapped Federation”, concurred with the above suggestion of Mr. Nehrudasan, and wished that members of the social service organizations work on tandem with Sri Geeta Bhavan Trust to fulfill this Noble-Cause.

Along with the above subjects, the need to assist some Dilapidated Temples in villages in Tamilnadu, requiring renovation was also discussed. Almost all the luminaries present were of the unanimous opinion that this is an excellent proposition and by roping in some of the “Nongovernmental organizations” (NGOS), the Rotary-club, lions Club and by getting the advice and assistance of the Tamilnadu Religious and Charitable endowment Board, a programmed may be drawn up and possible financial assistance could be provided. In conclusion, winding up the discussion, Shri.

Dr. G.S. Prabhudoss, surgeon Govt. Stanley Hospital, Chennai, informed that he himself treating poor people free of cost and was all praise for “Sri Geeta Bhavan Trust” for venturing into the “MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SCHEME” for the poor. He suggested that some villages in “VILLUPURAM DISTRICT”, from where he hails, many poorest of the poor people (Men / Women / Children) suffer from Major Health problems and in such places a survey may be conducted in coordination with some surgeons / physicians from the voluntary health services, the really needy persons from the “Lowest Strata of Society” could be identified and financial assistance extended. Dr. Mano Bakthavatsalam, supported the above view of Dr.G.S.Prabudoss.

Mr. R.
