Social Welfare Department Hosts Special Camp For Elderly At Maha Kumbh

Maha Kumbh Nagar in Prayagraj turned into a hub of patriotism and devotion on the 76th Republic Day, blending the spiritual aura of the Maha Kumbh with the nation’s tricolor. Flag-hoisting ceremonies were organized across akharas, Kalpvasis’ camps, and government offices.

A highlight of the day was when 70-year-old Munni Devi, a resident of an old age home in Mirzapur, proudly hoisted the national flag at the Social Welfare Department’s special camp for the elderly.

The Republic Day program at Maha Kumbh Nagar brought together a diverse group, including Brigadier US Kandil, Deputy Director of Social Welfare Anand Kumar Singh, NCC cadets, ex-servicemen, and elderly participants from various old age homes.

Following the flag hoisting, the Sahaja Yoga Sanstha elevated the celebrations with soulful bhajans, patriotic songs, and yoga sessions, creating a serene and joyous atmosphere.

Social Welfare Department Facilitates Spiritual Bliss

To ensure elderly residents could participate in the Maha Kumbh with ease, the Social Welfare Department, led by Minister of State for Social Welfare (Independent Charge) Asim Arun, set up a 100-bed ashram in the Kumbh area.

As the Maha Kumbh unfolded in all its grandeur, the 76th Republic Day celebrations draped the sacred grounds in the splendor of the tricolor. The seamless blend of nationalism and spirituality offered a unique experience, reaffirming the spirit of unity and devotion in Maha Kumbh Nagar.
