We must appreciate the way Seva Bharti always pitch in to help the needy people. This is a selfless service organization, which never takes any money from the people in need, it only collects the donations from society and provides the necessary materials and services to the people in need.
In our opinion, we feel that our Youth should be made aware of the deeds of such a selfless organization, as they are our real heroes and should be idolized. This is what our culture and dharma teach us, to help others and consider the entire World as Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam. We hail the efforts of Seva Bharti and we wish them the very best for all their future endeavors.
