Feb, 2019:- Bharat Vikas Parishad, East (BVP-E),
Chandigarh is going to organise it's 10th Samuhik Saral Vivah (simple mass
marriages) at Community Centre, Sector 20, Chandigarh on February 10 (Sunday).
This was announced by senior office bearers of the social service oriented,
non-political, socio-cultural voluntary organization at a press conference held
at Press Club here.
BVP-E's Project Director Navneet Gaur
said that the mass marriages of needy girls irrespective of caste creed or
religion will be held with full grandeur. Welcome of 'Baraat' or the 'Bride
groom party' will be held at 9 am. Breakfast will be at 9.30 am and Lunch at 1
pm. Marriage rituals will be held at 12 o clock. The Parishad has taken up this
project at national level. Sonu Sethi who is a well known social worker of
tricity and is known for singing Gurdas Maan songs, will perform at the event,
his team will also carry out a plantation drive.
Ashok Goyal, Parishad President said
that the idea behind holding this press meet was not only to provide details of
the upcoming mass marriage of needy girls, but also to invite members of
general public to bless the newly-wed couples by participating in the ceremony.
We are giving an invitation to all.
It is pertinent to mention here that
BVP-E is dedicated to the development and growth of the country in all fields
of human Endeavour-cultural, social, academic, moral, national and spiritual -
by promoting a sense of patriotism, national unity and integrity.
Bhushan Thakur, Co-ordinator, BVP-E
said that with the increasing dowry demand and ostentatious style of marriage
celebrations, the daughter's marriage has become a heavy burden for parents of
moderate means. The Parishad therefore selects families who do not have
financial means to hold such functions and organises marriages in the
case of needy families collectively. Hundreds of brides and bridegrooms
and their relatives participate in one celebration.
Secretary Pravesh Gupta said that like
previous years this year too, as required under the norms of BVP, all the
essential items to start the new household such as double bed, steel trunks,
utensils and clothes and others will be gifted to each couple for which members
of branch and other distinguished residents have contributed liberally.
Ashok Ghai, Secretary (Finance) said
that apart from organising mass marriages for needy boys and girls, we also
hold activities like blood donation camps, tree plantation drives, free
blood and medical checkup camps, free special counseling sessions for girl
students, social and cultural events like 'Teej' and 'Ek Sham Bhole ke Naam'
are also organised regularly.
BVP - E has also adopted two
government schools and holds free counseling sessions for school children. The
office bearers said that next year they wanted to conduct a bigger mass
marriage, involving many more couples. The panelists at the press meet
therefore appealed to people who are finding it difficult to organise marriage
of their son or daughter due to financial constraints, to contact them for
help.
