Dowry System is most vile
practice of our society. We regularly read stories in
newspapers about daughter in laws being tortured and
burnt alive by family members demanding dowry. To get
rid of this practice Ashram arranges simple marriages
in the Ashram without dowry with consent of the
families involved.

Ashram also supports
remarriage of widows. Every human being has right to
live a happy and dignified life. There are many cases
when due to unfortunate death of a person; the widow
has to live a life of denial without any financial and
emotional support. Ashram facilitates widow marriage
and helps the persons involved in leading a happy and
meaningful life.

In our society even on
death of our near and dear ones we are more worried
about the expenses required for last rites and
different rituals spread over 14 days. Ashram
motivates the suffering families to conduct last rites
in simple way and within 6 days. This prevents them
from unnecessary financial burden.

Alcoholism is a major
problem in rural areas. Villagers spend their hard
earned money on alcohol which affects their family
adversely. Ashram runs several programs including
street theatre for educating the villagers about ill
effects of the habit. |
