Purusharth Vasudaiva Kutumbakam Seva Sansthan successfully organized an year-long drive of 100 crore “Ram-nam lekhan” (writing Ram’s name) during 2017-18 in Indore.

This holy drive culminated in a “Samman Samaroh” ceremony on 31st July 2018 wherein the devotees wrote “Ram” 10,80,000 times.
With nationalism at heart and Hindutva in soul, the political position offers more opportunities to Nanuram to carry out selfless services to the society and the nation with increased responsibility.
