Handing over an adopted child is a pious act: S. Ravi

Gadag: ' Handing over a child to a childless couple is a pious act,' said S. Ravi, president of the city's Balavinayak Vidyaniketan Educational Institution

He spoke after handing over an adopted child, who was fostered at the Amulya Special Adoption Center of Seva Bharathi Sanstha in Betageri, to a couple from Kerala. 

"While it is one thing to create a great future for a neglected child by protecting and nurturing it through an adoption agency and legally handing it over to a childless couple, it is also a great act to hand over a child to a childless couple. Let the couple who adopt the child provide this child with good morals, education, and a future," he said. 

Speaking at the event, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's provincial pracharak Narendra said, "The Amulya Adoption Center has dedicated itself to humanity and humanitarian work. The work of the Amulya organization, which has provided its own invaluable service in giving life to 68 children so far, is truly commendable."

The president of the organization, Mallikarjuna Bellada, presided over the function. Mallika was on the stage. Nagaveni Kattimani prayed. Narasimha Kamarthi introduced. Manjunath Channappa gave the introductory speech. Aruna Rajapurohita narrated. Rajesh Khatavate proposed the vote of thanks.
