About Us
Society provides all comforts and necessities of life to man.
Man has an obligation towards the society. Especially those who can make a
different and for those social work is a passion.
The philanthropistic endeavour to make a " Home for the
Blind & Disabled" was a dream come true at a small town like Malerkotla. The
idea was conceived by Advocate Late Sh. Babu Ram Sood who with his strong
determination and conviction, put all his strength and capacities together to
materialize it.
It would not have been possible without the kind heart plus of
S. Balwant Singh, Minister of erstwhile Malerkotla State who donated One Bigha
of Land, Six built-up rooms and Rs. 20,000/- in cash. This resulted into a flying
start and afterwards many more joined.
The Home started functioning in 1972. However, it was
formally inaugurated by the then MLL.A. Smt. Sajida Begum, on May 27, 1973.
Advocate Sh. Babu Ram Ji pledged his life to the Management of the Home and
Objectives
