Satkar Samaroh

To honour the Donors and Contributors

Sanman Sabha was organized to honour all the contributors and the visiting dignitaries.

To fulfill a dream of having a Samaj building depends on the generous donors, contributors and a selfless dedicated team. Each of these contributions made a significant difference to the success of having our own Samaj building.

They are all absolute stars and deserve to be recognised for their contributions and would be a fitting tribute to honour them.
