Dedicated to Major Dr. Anuradha who devoted her Life for Aasthagram Trust

She left no stone unturned in shaping the lives of differently-abled children in the region.

Her social journey began when she was associated with Abhyas Mandal and Yuva Jagat organization in Indore during her youth. The desire to do something for society, youth, and underprivileged children always resonated within her. Without relying on government support, she fulfilled her mission and established Astha Gram as an exemplary voluntary institution.A few years ago, despite suffering an injury in an accident, she continued to serve the homeless, destitute, and differently-abled in Astha Gram. She remained steadfast in her commitment to her path of duty. She left for heavenly abode on 26 March 2023
