103 years have passed since the Sevashrama had its humble beginning in 1907. The Sevashrama has been rendering selfless service to the poor and needy patients of this region. We are happy to place before you the Annual Short Report 2009-10 with the progress that the Sevashrama has made during the financial year. A detailed report will follow shortly once the Statements of Accounts are finalised. We have been able to take up all the activities for the service of the poor and the needy because of the dedicated and generous support that you have provided to the efforts of the Sevashrama. We are indebted to you all for helping us to upgrade the existing services. Needless to say - Our thanks to all the generous donors, well wishers, doctors, friends, devotees, volunteers and staff as we could not have achieved all this without your support. This year we have a few additions as in the last year. There is a raise in the number of patients who have been treated at the hospital as against last year. Herewith we are also place before you the various projects that we have planned for the year ahead. We are sure that with your generous and noble support we will be able to provide service to the poor as envisioned by Swami Vivekananda - "Serve God in Man".
Further to the support that you are providing to the Sevashrama, we request you to please recommend this 103 year old institution to a few of your kind hearted acquaintances who may be willing to help by providing us financial assistance for the various activities of the Sevashrama and we earnestly hope that you will continue to help us with your kind support in the future.

We have been sending you reports of activities undertaken at the Sevashrama twice a year. Hope you are receiving the same. We take this opportunity to place our invitation to you and all the members of your family & friends to visit Sri Vrindaban Dham at your convenience. Your visit will surely be an inspiration to all of us here. You can directly witness the various activities that are undertaken at the Sevashrama by your noble support. We are hopeful that along with that you will enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of this holy land blessed by the divine lila of Sri Krishna. May Sri Radharani, Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi & Swami Vivekananda bless us all and fill our lives with devotion, peace and bliss.
