Rs 2.5 Crore Raised And Land Donated In 1 Hour: Rajasthan Village Rallies For New Hospital

Last Updated: In just an hour, villagers in Rajasthan raised Rs 2.51 crore and land for a 100-bed hospital, showcasing unity, generosity, and a shared vision for better rural healthcare A remarkable display of community spirit has emerged from Sanglia village in Sikar district, Rajasthan, where a long-standing healthcare issue has inspired a swift and powerful response. The Baba Lakkaddas Khivadas Charitable Trust, led by Swami Omdas Maharaj, Peethadheeshwar of All India Sangliya Dhuni, announced plans to build a 100-bed hospital and trauma centre. Donations Poured In Within An Hour The proposal received overwhelming support. In just one hour, villagers and donors contributed Rs 2.51 crore in cash and land worth crores. The crucial challenge, that is, of securing land, was met when philanthropist Dularam Devaram Burdak donated 3.25 bighas of land on the spot. Inspired by his generosity, others followed suit. Major Contributors Stepped Forward Donors from across India and abroad pledged support in front of over 150 community leaders. Notable contributions included Rs 51 lakh each by Dubai-based Sohanlal Meghwal and Omkar Mund. Rs 20 lakh from Surendra Singh Kanseda, Rs 11 lakh each from Amar Singh Dheeraj and Kailash Subhash Ramavatar. The hospital will be operated by the Baba Lakkaddas Khivadas Charitable Trust and will include a fully-equipped trauma centre. Swami Omdas Maharaj explained the urgent need for such a facility, as locals currently travel to Sikar or Jaipur for treatment, losing both time and resources. The new hospital aims to provide quick, quality medical care, especially for emergencies like road accidents. Recognition And Hope Swami Omdas Maharaj reiterated the Trust's mission to strengthen community service. Once completed, the hospital will serve thousands of residents in Sanglia and surrounding villages, offering a lifeline in a region long underserved by healthcare infrastructure.
