1. PURPOSE

While all of us are impacted by the pandemic in one way or another, the economic situation of Arya Samaj Scholars, Pracharaks and Gurukuls, who solely depend on Programs of Arya Samaj, has deteriorated significantly. With no programs happening since March 2020, their situation has become grim and is expected to continue to be tough for atleast a few more months.

Arya Samaj is not just the Sunday Satsang or the samskaaras that are performed. It is a way of life. To sustain the tradition of Arya Samaj, the role of Vidvaan, Pracharaks & Gurukuls is very important. Hence, in this situation of extreme crisis, it is our moral responsibility to support them.

So Arya Samaj Chennai has taken an initiative, since 10th May 2021, to support Vedic Scholars, Pracharaks and Gurukuls for a period of 3 months. However, we need your support for that.

2. SCREENING AND SELECTION PROCESS

  • We are inviting Arya Vidvaans, Pracharaks and Gurukuls all across the country to fill up the below form if they require economic support:

Sahyog Yojana Form
  • We have also received multiple recommendations from office-bearers of various Pratinidhi Sabha, Arya Samaj and other Vedic institutions. Due weightage is given while taking decisions. 
  • We have ensured that Vidvaans and Pracharaks who are completely dedicated to Arya Samaj and have no regular source of income are given preference for distributing sahyog. The sahyog amount ranges from Rs. 2000 to Rs. 5000 per person / institutions depending upon our assessment of the requirement.
  • Gurukuls are being given preference in the Sahyog Yojana. If they shut down during this pandemic, then a lot of students lose out on learning. 
  • We have ensured that the confidentiality of the Sahyog applicants is maintained so that no worthy applicant feels hesitant to share his / her details. The sahyog forms are shared only with the people involved. The state salaahkaars get the forms of only their respective states with a clear understanding that they will not share it further. The list of recipients has been shared with the Regional Arya Pratinidhi Sabha after they have specifically requested us so that they can coordinate their own Sahyog Yojana accordingly and avoid duplication in distribution of Aid.

3. SAHYOG YOJANA TEAM

There are two groups of people involved in selection and screening.

  1. Central Sahyog committee comprising of the President, Secretary and Treasurer of Arya Samaj Chennai.
  2. Local Salaahkaars across different states of the country.

4. UPDATES AND PLAN FORWARD

This Yojana is being run in coordination with Saarvadeshik Arya Pratinidhi Sabha and Haryana Arya Pratinidhi Sabhas. We are also in discussions with few others. We invite all Prantiya Sabhas and Arya Samaj to join hands for this cause.

As of 17th July, we have received over 773 applications under this program. Of this, we have evaluated 609 so far and distributed Sahyog totaling 13 lakhs to 361 applicants. 

Our intent is to provide Sahyog to each sanctioned applicant for 3 months because Prachaara will take time to open up. While Chennai Arya Samaj is providing support for the first month, we invite other Samaj and individuals to contribute to this cause. By coming together, we are certain we can help our Pracharaks & Gurukuls tide over this unprecedented crisis.

5. FEEDBACK FROM RECIPIENTS

We share below some of the feedback we have received from various recipients of this aid (Translated from Hindi). As shared earlier, the names of recipients will remain anonymous to ensure confidentiality. 

This feedback will give you a glimpse into the situation that our Vidvaans, Pracharaks and Gurukuls are going through.

Respected  president/mantri ji and all the people assisting us in this time of need, a big thank you for assisting me and my family in these dire times. A big thanks from the heart to all of you. 

Om! Namaste to all the Office bearers of Arya Samaj Chennai. Your monetary assistance has been received by many Shastris, Acharyas and Bhajanopdeshaks of Aaryopdeshak Sabha (Saharanpur). We are very grateful for the help that you provided to us during this time of Corona. May Almighty always help you to assist the society in this manner as the main aim of Samaj is to do good for the society, ie. physical, spiritual and social upliftment.        

Please accept my many thanks from the bottom of my heart.  Blessings to you and your children. Many many thanks and accolades…you all are doing a historical work in this time of need in the nation.

A big thank you to Arya Samaj, Chennai for this financial assistance. Five thousand Rupees is worth Fifty thousand at this time. 

May the Almighty God always motivate you all to do the good work that you doing and may all of you be happy and healthy. Thank You.  

Many thanks to you . I humbly pay my regards to the person who has initiated this auspicious deed.

Namaste ji. Many many thanks and good wishes to the employees, members and officers of Arya Samaj Chennai. May all of you have a long life and may you and your families prosper. This is our humble wish for you

6. IMPORTANCE OF NATION-WIDE COLLABORATION FOR SAHYOG YOJANA

While we understand many Arya Samaj and individuals may be supporting Arya Vidvaans and Pracharaks, we believe it will multiply our impact if we coordinate centrally in this program. Key benefits being:

  1. If we adopt only a local approach to distributing aid, i.e., each Arya Samaj distributing aid to the local Vidvaans / Pracharaks in need, there are many places where the local Arya Samaj may not be capable of providing aid or there may not be any Samaj.
  2. A centralised selection and distribution list created with local inputs helps to ensure that proper screening is done and only worthy applicants get the aid.
  3. There is uniformity in distribution of aid – the same applicant does not get aid from multiple sources while there are other worthy applicants who may be left out.
  4. It ensures that the applicants get aid in the most respectful manner, ensuring maximum confidentiality with an assurance of regularity.
  5. It saves the effort in inviting applications, screening them and distributing aid.

Hence, we invite all Arya Samaj and individuals to unite to support and contribute to this national cause.
