EDITOR’S NOTE: What do you think about this seva? Please let us know in the comments box below.
one holding the position of Jathedaar should know this is improper use of Siropao. I agree with ‘random joeginder’ – the money could have been put to better use; i.e. promoting education, technical training for jobs and helping the less fortunate.
Amazing to see bibi ji’s gratitude and generosity.
Maybe this gold necklace donation’s value could’ve been used differently? Who am I to say, though.
