Appeal for Monthly Contribution Towards Ashok Buddha Vihar
Today, the underground septic tank (sewage tank) of Ashok Buddha Vihar, Rajghat, New Delhi suddenly became full and required immediate cleaning. To prevent overflow and unhygienic conditions, a suction machine vehicle from the Delhi Jal Board, Government of NCT of Delhi was called for emergency service.
The septic tank was cleaned using a mechanized suction system, and the total charge for the service amounted to Rs. 11,000/-. This was an unforeseen and unavoidable expense.
In addition to such emergency costs, Ashok Buddha Vihar requires approx. Rs. 15,000/- per month to meet its regular expenses, including:
• Bhante’s monthly honorarium
• Water charges
• Electricity bills
• General maintenance of the premises
Therefore, the Ashok Buddha Vihar Management Trust (ABVMT) humbly appeals to all devotees and well-wishers to support the Ashok Buddha Vihar through a minimum monthly contribution/subscription of:
• Rs. 200 per family per month
• Rs. 100 per individual/student per month
Those who are financially capable may kindly contribute more than the minimum amount.
Apart from the monthly subscription, devotees and well-wishers are also encouraged to make additional donations towards the maintenance and development of Ashok Buddha Vihar.
Contributions may be made through the QR code shared herewith.
Ashok Buddha Vihar is the only place for the Chakmas living in Delhi-NCR, where we gather for Buddha Puja, other religious ceremonies, cultural programmes and community meetings. In fact, Ashok Buddha Vihar represents our identity in a city like Delhi. Hence, it is our responsibility to preserve and maintain Ashok Buddha Vihar for the welfare of present and future generations.
We sincerely request everyone’s cooperation and generous support.
