A large number of Indian population today lives without adequate clothing.Over four crore students living in mofusil have just one pair of cloths. Unavailability of adequate and durable clothing deprives them of basic education. Illiteracy breeds blind faith and wrong traditions, which in turn perpetuates poverty. The “Charkha Yojana” has been specifically implemented to break this vicious circle of poverty and illiteracy. Thousands of followers of Parampoojya Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu spin the Amber charkhas for making thread. The hanks produced from threads are collected and converted into cloth. School uniforms of various sizes are stitched from this cloth and after proper processing and are distributed, free of cost, among the students, in order to motivate and encourage them to attend the school. Till date, 59,085 sets of uniforms have been distributed to 24,544 students. More than 1, 43,000 meters of Cloth have been prepared under the Charkha Project upto March 2008. Presently, a total of 3871 Amber charkhas are in operation. The Foundation also conducts special camps at its affiliated centers throughout the year, in which devotees run the “Amber Charkha”.
