In Sunpeda village of Kakod police station area in Bulandshahr, social workers have set an example of social unity by arranging the marriage of a Dalit girl according to Hindu rituals.
According to the information, the girl belongs to a Dalit family. Her father, the late Indrapal Jatav, passed away several years ago. Her mother supports the family by working as a laborer, due to which the family’s financial condition was weak. Bearing the expenses of their daughter’s marriage was a major challenge for the family.
When village social worker Sheel Pradhan learned of this situation, he immediately took the initiative. He organized his associates, including Rinku Bhati, Krishna Sharma, Krishna Mistry, Yogesh God, Jitendra, Shekhar Dabar, Kalua Bhati, and Sarjeet, to arrange the marriage.
All the social workers together assured the family, saying, “She is not just your daughter, she is our daughter too. Her marriage will be celebrated with great pomp and show.” They then took full responsibility for the wedding and conducted the marriage according to Hindu rituals.
This noble act is being widely appreciated in the area. Villagers say that the social workers not only supported a family but also gave a message of unity, humanity, and mutual cooperation to society.
There is an atmosphere of joy in the village because of this initiative, and people are praising the social workers.
