Rural Development<br />

Program:<br />

We are running a rural<br />

development program in<br />

a town called Veerpur, on<br />

the banks of the Ganges, about 3 km south of<br />

Rishikesh. In this program, we are doing the following:<br />

Water facilities – although the town lies on the banks<br />

of the River, most people had no running water or<br />

water for their farms. We dug a boring well and have<br />

brought running water to this village.<br />

Tree plantation program<br />

Organic Gardening program – We have started a<br />

special organic farming program as well. We have<br />

brought in trained organic farmers and scientists to<br />

teach the local farmers alternative, chemical-free<br />

methods of farming. Further we have a special “buy<br />

back” program with them where we buy back from<br />

them all of their crops.<br />

Women’s Vocational training program<br />

Construction of a proper road<br />

Spirituality and Culture – we have started an<br />

evening devotional ceremony there on the banks of<br />

the Ganges, called Aarti. It is a way for the villagers<br />

to come together in a spirit of peace, culture and piety.<br />

Gurukul/orphanage: The second of the two gurukul/<br />

orphanages is here in Veerpur.<br />

Ecological “Clean, Green and Serene” Programs<br />

IHRF runs programs dedicated to cultivating an<br />

awareness of environmental sanctity as well as with<br />

the mission of restoring Mother Earth’s natural<br />

balance. Its focus is currently on preserving holy<br />

pilgrimage areas, called Tirthas.<br />

Currently, IHRF is running a “Clean, Green and Serene<br />

Programs,” in Rishikesh, Himalayas and in Veerpur.<br />

In these noble programs, IHRF is working to clean up<br />

the holy banks of our Mother Ganga.<br />

In order to restore Mother Ganga to her rightful state<br />

of sublime beauty, we have instituted “Clean, Green<br />

and Serene” programs.<br />

Through these programs, our ancient, holy pilgrimage<br />

cities will be restored to their rightful state of<br />

purity, sanctity and spiritual sublimity.<br />

In general, IHRF is the backbone of numerous<br />

charitable organizations and provides a vast<br />

range of services. The Foundation is dedicated<br />

to bringing food to the hungry, medicine<br />

to the sick, and peace to the troubled.<br />

IHRF does not discriminate on the basis of<br />

race, religion, caste, gender or nationality.<br />

All of its services are open to all & free to all.<br />

IHRF embraces the whole of humanity and<br />

seeks to heal whatever ails God’s children<br />
