New Delhi (India), April 19: A collective wedding ceremony was organized in Talasari taluka on Shri Nilesh Sambare’s birthday, the founder of Jijau Educational and Social Foundation. On this occasion, the marriage ceremony of many young men and women from the tribal community took place.
In low-income families of tribal society, many people must do heavy labor to satisfy two meals a day. Most of the class is stuck in the traditional traditions of the culture and then gets stuck in debt for unnecessary expenses. To change this and avoid unnecessary costs for these community members, Nilesh Sambare, the founder of Jijau Sanstha, organized a collective wedding ceremony at Talasari to celebrate his birthday. His initiative is appreciated everywhere; many say they will take this inspiring idea forward.
