Varanasi, 29 October (Hindustan Reporter). On the initiative of Pannadhay Smriti Seva Trust, the poor illiterate adult women of Bhullanpur (Manduwadih) were encouraged to read and write by giving them gifts on the occasion of Dhanteras.

Urged the affluent section of the society to come forward to help the women of weaker section during festivals. So that the festival lights and happiness remain in their homes also.
Kavita Malviya, Principal Trustee of the Trust, said that the adult women of Bhullanpur village were taught the importance of education and were taught to read and write at this age. Now these women have learned to sign to withdraw money from the bank and deposit savings. It is a matter of happiness that these women have started reading books along with newspapers. These women will also inspire other women of the village to study and write. Kavita Malviya told that Pannadhay Smriti Seva Trust not only appreciates the contribution of midwives and nurses but also honors them. The organization strives to honor those women who remain dedicated to their homes as well as to the homes of others.
