Gujarat Earthquake, 26th January 2001

The epicenter was in the dry, northern province of Kutchh, and the whole region was left devastated. Many thousands of people lost their lives and many more were made homeless. Pujya Bapu alongside volunteers set up a relief camp in a small town called Adhoi where he spent 3 months. Once the relief work was completed, with the help of the Gujarat Relief fund set up by UK charities, a school was built and completed in Adhoi in 2002. About 750 children have been studying here since then free of charge.
