Their family was not with them when they committed the crime, then why the society is neglecting them?. Even they have the right to live in the same manner in which our family and children are living. This same thinking has to be applied, therefore our objective is to rehabilitate the prisoners who have been relieved from life-time imprisonment so that they do not move in the direction of committing crime again and can be accepted by the society.

These people behind the bars also belong to that part of the society, which is closed under the fortified walls waiting for a decent life.

The beneficiaries of this project are selected according to the following criteria. Their behavior should be based on good morality. There should not be any in-disciplinary action taken against them. This scheme was started in the year 2007 in the Vidharbha region of the Maharashtra state, where 5 prisoners were selected and released accordingly.

After their rehabilitation they were provided with jobs of their choice on 29th june 2007 at Aurangabad. They were provided with wood cutting tools, cycle rickshaws, goats, sewing machines, so that they could get respectability in the society.

If the financial structure of any country is to be made strong, the farmers of that country will have to learn high-level techniques. In the present day condition, the farmers and their family members are living a life where they are deprived of even the basic necessities. Since ancient times, though India has been an agriculture based country, the farmers have always been poor.

Even today they are caught in the vicious circle of traditional ties and superstitions due to ignorance. This is retarding their progress. Being deprived of education, health facilities, and electricity etc. some way or the other they are being left far behind the society.

With the objective of involving these villages in the process of development, Shri Sadguru Datta Dharmik Evam Parmarthik Trust is running several programmes under the guidance of the Young National Saint Rev. Bhaiyyu ji Maharaj. Suryoday Gram Model Village 2040 program is one of them.

Life in the village is very harsh, there are no amenities in villages and on the other hand cities have modern facilities resulting attractive to the youth who try to shift toward urban areas.

With the objective of developing backward villages into model villages, the trust has started “Suryoday Gram Samridhi Yojana” in the form of ‘Model Village’. This scheme has developed a model village wherein computer training centres, energy parks, balgrams and setting up of libraries are established. Windmills, solar energy and biogas fuels are used to generate electricity and provide 24 hours power to the villages. This scheme has also started water recycling plants, vaccinating pets and making fertilizers from waste. With the implementation of these projects, we will be able to educate farmers’ children and make them ideal farmers. Experts will provide training to the farmers regarding modern methods of agriculture and bio-agriculture. Along with this farmers will be encouraged for soil and water testing techniques. In this way it would be possible to develop farmers into ideal farmers and villages into ideal villages.

The Suryoday Gram Smridhi Yojana 2040 has started in Buldhana District at Mahimal, Shirasgaon, Jalkateli, Gardgaon, and Antraj villages. In Washim District at Dhanora Tathod, Parditakmore, Kata, Sohol. In Akola district at Kapileshwar, Raundhala and Eklara. The Suryoday Trust has adopted 3 districts and 13 such villages under this scheme of Suryoday Gram Model Village 2040.

A conceptual model village 2040 designed by P.P. Shri Bhaiyyu Ji Maharaj is where the villagers act as decision makers, partners, and beneficiaries of multi-faceted, multifunctional and integrated development in the field of energy, finance and infra structure. A model village is also a modern secular, democratic system empowered with prosperous and harmonious life suffused with human values sublimated with spiritual inspiration. Model village should also have a self-propelling model of ensuring growth with equality and social justice within the participatory framework.

Model villages will play a vital role and transform all the present form of villages into self-dependent and supporting units, which ultimately increase the overall development of the country.

In recent years, development initiatives in the region have focused on village-led watershed management activities by rainwater collection and percolation to the village well for drinking purposes and other uses also. With decreasing water tables, water has become a scarce resource. Adding to this plight and droughts, which have affected agriculture and human existences. The solution to water scarcity lies in its judicious use.

A bad monsoon would mean a poor season for the farmer and the never-ending cycle of indebtedness. Several other initiatives under Gurudev’s guidance have been initiated, such as watershed management programmes, rainwater harvesting, and percolation for improving the ground water table. The Shri Sadguru Datta Dharmik Evam Parmarthik Trust, Indore has started this Tanker Free Village programme.

150 Villages in Buldhana District have been selected for the project implementation. 10 tanks have been constructed in 10 different places while around 140 tanks are to be constructed in other villages soon.

All these series of questions came into the mind of Shri P.P. Bhaiyyu Dada who has always preached to find the true religion not by visiting pilgrimage places and worshipping Gods and Goddesses but in devoting life for the service of mankind and doing something earnestly for the poor downtrodden people of the society.

A true religion inculcates love in you, affection, brotherhood, compassion and service to mankind and to the nation. P.P. Shri Bhaiyyu Ji Maharaj was deeply touched by getting the news of this massacre and inhuman killing of innocents.

Though human sensitivity is diminished continuously due to fast urbanization, still in the soul of human beings, sensitivity is hidden somehow. The citizens of Mumbai through their exemplary work in this regard have expressed the major forefront on the dark day in Mumbai’s history. (7th July 2006 The Mumbai Train Blast”)

P.P. Gurudev through The Shri Sadguru Datta Dharmik Trust had taken the initiative by sending 60
representatives for the Vidharbha Region. They reached 107 families who were the sufferers of the Mumbai Bomb Blast tragedy and expressed their deep sentiments of humanity. The Trust helped these families of the victims, as their problems were noted down and sent to the concerned department for the compensation. In the same way Suryoday honored 255 social workers giving them Manavta Seva Puraskar, which helped the victims of the Mumbai Bomb Blast at that crucial time.

After three days of empowering the families’ victims to sustain the shock of unbearable grief and tireless heart touching work, a unique public function was arranged to felicitate and honor the heroes who without caring for their own lives rushed forward to help the injured and dead people. For this feeling of solidarity to reach the masses, we decided to honor them for putting their lives at risk by saving the lives of others, so that the society should follow this as an ideal example and become more sensitive to inspire other humans.

Members of the victims' families attended this function very bravely in order to encourage and cheer the bravery acts of these helpers. They were very pleased, satisfied and consoled when Shri Bhaiyyu Ji Maharaj met them personally.

Param Pujya Shri Bhaiyyu Ji Maharaj has launched such an all encompassing mission to eradicate poverty from all parts of India. This huge movement has been named the “Anti Poverty mission”. The Anti Poverty Mission is designed to root out poverty from rural areas where Gurudev Ji has devised some very novel strategies, which will involve each aspect of rural society. The Anti Poverty Mission will launch a variety of efforts like revitalizing entire communities and starting self-sufficient industries, which involve entire communities much on the lines of cooperative movements. Community development and family development initiatives have also been mooted for the reduction of poverty. Development in the existing economic scenarios and human resources are also being proposed. Development and technological advancement will be made in agricultural methods and facilities, villagers will be taught water conservation techniques and health care and cottage industries will be revamped and given a boost.

The villages, which have been identified in the Anti Poverty Mission, are Mahimal, Jadkateli, Garadgaon, Antaraj, Shirajgaon, Sajjanpuri in Buldhana district and Warangaon in Jalgaon district. There are many more villages where surveys are in progress for evaluating their efficiency and utility for participation in the Anti Poverty Mission.

Food is freely given to nearly 500 poor people daily at Indore Ashram. Similar programmes are also being run at the Ashrams in Pandharpur, Khamgaon, Aurangabad, Baramati, Phaltan, Tuljapur, and Alandi, where daily 5000 people are fed free. The Ashram, which is under construction at Shirdi, will also start this service in keeping with the tradition. The food is collected from the factories MIDC near Aurangabad.

An important aspect of this Annashetra scheme for life-long donation: It is traditional for Hindus, to distribute food to the hungry on the occasion of a birthday or anniversary or any important date in families or for their loved ones. Suryoday family invites them to make such lifelong contribution towards this noble cause. With a contribution of Rs. 21.000/- you can nominate a date on which food shall be distributed in the Ashram.

		The youth of the nation is its future and Guruji aims to work with the youth who ultimately will favor the country, and by identifying this vital characteristic Guruji has started the Suryoday Swarojgar Yojna. This self employment scheme endeavors to give basic and practical training to unemployed youth and teaches trades like making garments, shopping bags, incense sticks and many other useful products.
Unemployed and poor but deserving woman are give training absolutely free of cost in the Suryoday Ashrams to make them self reliant and self sufficient. This scheme has turned out to be a huge success and a huge number of women have been imparted training in simple skills like sewing and knitting which has enabled them to manufacture a wide variety of products and in turn has made them economically self sufficient.
