From Struggles to Success:
The Chauhan Family’s Journey
Belonging to a historically marginalized Dalit community, the Chauhan family once faced severe social and financial barriers. In their village, traditional caste restrictions limited them to low-paying, menial tasks, making steady employment nearly impossible.
Over a decade ago, life for Manubhai and Kajalben was a constant hand-to-mouth struggle. With no stable jobs, every day was an exercise in survival. When their young children fell ill, even basic medicine was far out of reach.
A Turning Point in Chaparda
Desperate for work after two months of unemployment, Manubhai learned about Muktanand Bapu’s ashram in Chaparda.
What started as casual work soon turned into full-time employment— Manubhai tended the ashram gardens, while Kajalben assisted with cleaning and laundry.
Honest hard work in exchange for free, quality education for all their children.
A Legacy Transformed
Fast-forward 18 years, and the family’s life is entirely unrecognizable:
- Rupal (26): In the final year of her Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) degree.
- Mahesh (24): In his first year of college pursuing a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.).
- Sonal & Chirag (22): Thriving in school, with Sonal recently earning a national silver medal in rifle shooting in Kerala.
Today, Manubhai serves as a trusted driver for the English Medium School, while Kajalben helps cook and manage the ashram. They live a healthy, joyful life filled with security, fresh food, and peace of mind.
The Chauhans are just one of hundreds of families whose lives have been transformed through the vision of Bapu and the Bhagvatinandji Education Trust (BET).
