Hazaribag, June 21: Kolkata Pinjrapole Society and Sidhu-Kanhu Seva Sansthan, which have been playing a leading role in the field of cow service for 136 years, laid the foundation stone of CPS Sidhu-Kanhu Vidyapeeth and Hostel at Sitagarha Gaushala premises on Wednesday.

Avatar Singh of Sikh society, presidents and chiefs of four dozen different caste groups belonging to Hindu society also participated in the ceremony. Members of the tribal society completed the foundation stone.
Addressing the ceremony, Ramdutt Chakradhar said that it is auspicious in itself to have such activities on Yoga Day. Mahamandaleshwar Sukhdev Das said that today we all have forgotten cow service and guest service which, he said, is wrong.

CBSE board-based education will be given to 2000 children in this school to be built in the Gaushala premises, he informed. There, residential arrangements for one thousand children will be available. Indian culture and civilization in the residential campus, or rather, the complete glimpse of Indian ancient Gurukul will be seen here. This school will be unique and excellent in itself, amidst the beautiful valleys of nature in about 22 acres of land, he added amid huge clapping.
