Service to Humanity is service to God....

In obedience to the universal laws of the great creator, the wheel of time rolled on. A period of 30 years passed. Sishu Ananta Ashram grew from the infancy to its adulthood. The field of its various activities spread so much that it required a group of very sincere, efficient and dedicated persons for its smooth management & steady progress in a well planned and coordinated manner.
