Wednesday, May 18, 2011
"Hindu Helpline'' launched in Pune
http://ibnlive.in.com/generalnewsfeed/news/hindu-helpline-launched-in-pune/642926.html
Pune, Apr 13 (PTI) - In the first its kind venture, a helpline
service headquartered in the city has become operational, offering
assistance to the majority community all over the country.
The round-the-clock `Hindu Helpline' will respond and guide the
callers facilitating required assistance to deal with medical
emergencies, travel difficulties, discriminatory practices at
Governmental level in addition to providing religious services.
"We have a network of about 25,000 volunteers who would be operating
to assist any Hindu needing help while travelling in every nook and
corner of the country. Even a car mechanic will be made available for
a stranded family with just one call to the helpline," said Ranjeet
Natu, President of 'Hindu Helpline', which was launched on `Gudi
Padva' (Hindu New Year Day) on April 4.
Talking to PTI, Natu said the helpline, the first of its kind on all
India level, had materialised after one and a half year of planning
and compilation of database covering 800 major centres in the country
and Pune was chosen as its nodal point for "connectivity" advantage.
The database covers 550 districts, 50 major cities and 200 pilgrim
centres to offer assistance to the callers, he said, adding the
helpline, since its launch, had received "tremendous response" from
across the country.
"On an average we are receiving about 500 calls every day on HHL
(Hindu Help Line number: 020 -66803300 / 075886 82181.
Dr Pravin Togadia unveiled Hindu Help Line logo & services on April
4. Hindu Rantna awards were also conferred to veteran Dr Vinod
Koushik for his long service to the tribals in Gujarat as well as to
the noted theatre artist Sharad Ponkshe. Hindu Help Line will each
year give Hindu Ratna awards to those doing great work for Hindus in
the flields of business, trade, medicine, art & culture, education,
Information Technology, social development of tribals & socially
down-trodden etc.
Asked whether the venture would invite accusations of "promoting
communalism", Natu said "every community has a right to protect its
interests. On the phoneline we will not be checking religious
credentials of the caller and it will be seen on a humanitarian
ground if a Muslim or a Christian avails of the Hindu Helpline."
