 “There are many homeless people in North Lakhimpur who live in the streets without a proper meal for their survival. These homeless people are bound to live in an unhygienic environment which causes diseases and as a result they die as there is no one to take care and provide medical assistance. Vhabada Devi Memorial Trust has done something which a society can never repay as they have come up with the initiative to provide shelter, food and other facilities to the homeless people. The poor homeless people will now have a home to live in. The district administration supports the initiative of Vhabada Devi Memorial Trust and we promise to provide any help for this good cause in future,” said Deputy Commissioner  Debeswar Malakar.

“It is a very good initiative that the Vhabada Devi Memorial Trust has come up with and this will solve the problems of the homeless people in future. Homeless childern will be saved from involvement in any kind of illegal activity in future,” said a social activist. Anil Bora doted the land, building and property for Sag and many others helped in setting up the home in their own way.
