Relief and Rehabilitation
जब-जब देश में प्राकृतिक एवं अन्य आपदायें आई भारत विकास परिषद् एक समर्पित समाज सेवी संस्था के रूप में अपने उत्तरदायित्वों का निर्वहन करने में अग्रगण्य रहा है। यह आपदाएँ चाहे बाढ़, अकाल, भूकम्प या अन्य किसी गम्भीर प्राकृतिक त्रासदी के रूप में हो या देश पर बाह्य आक्रमण हुआ हो, परिषद् के सदस्यों ने हमेशा स्वतः प्रेरणा के आधार पर आर्थिक सहायता के लिए अप्रत्याशित रूप से धन एकत्रित ही नहीं किया, वर्न स्वयं भी आपदाग्रस्त क्षेत्रों में जाकर राहत कार्यों में अपनी सक्रिय भूमिका निभाई है।
बाढ़ के समय में परिषद् की शाखाओं ने हमेशा उन क्षेत्रों में भोजन, कपड़े एवं औषधि वितरण का कार्य किया है तो भूकम्प के समय सामान्य राहत कार्यों के अतिरिक्त भवन निर्माण परियोजनाओं को भी लिया है। युद्ध के समय सैनिकों के लिए खून की पर्याप्त व्यवस्था सुनिश्चित की है तो उन क्षेत्रों में जाकर सैनिकों के मनोबल वृद्धि में भी अपना योगदान किया है।
ऐसी प्राकृतिक आपदाओं के लिए परिषद् का स्थायी कॉर्पस फण्ड बनाया गया है। जिसके अन्तर्गत ‘विकास मित्र’ और ‘विकास रत्न’ योजनाओं द्वारा कार्पस फण्ड की राशि पूर्णतः स्थायी रूप में राष्ट्रीयकृत बैंकों के पास जमा है और उसकी ब्याज से आपदा राहत कार्यों में सहयोग कार्य किया जा रहा है
Whenever there is calamity in any part of the country, Bharat Vikas Parishad, as a humanitarian organization, has always come forward to provide relief and undertake various projects of reconstruction and rehabilitation.

National Secretary General’s visit to Leh
A brief of our visit to Leh – Ladakh
I, along with Shri Yash Paul Gupta, National Secy. Gram Basti Vikas, left Delhi by Air for Leh on 11th Oct. 2010. On our arrival at the Airport at 7-45 AM we were received by Shri Munish and Shri Tashi. We were advised to take rest for a couple of hours at Hotel Laserno..
At 3 pm we went to meet CEO at Civil Hospital. During the course of our discussion he wanted the Parishad to set up a Dispensary at Leh for the benefit of its people. Later it was decided to open a BVP Branch at Leh and take steps for the construction of Egoo School.
On 12th Oct we stepped out for Egoo School alongwith Dr. Anil and Dy. CEO. On our way we saw many damaged buildings and the school also that was shown in the film ‘3 Idiots’. Sindhu Darshan Palace also bore the brunt of nature. This is the same palace from where Sindhu Darshan was started by the Central Govt. under the leadership of ex. Prime Minister AB Vajpayee.
On reaching Egoo School we had a meeting with the Principal and Staff. Since the BVP offered to construct some rooms and a multipurpose hall, the necessary Bhoomi Pujan was performed by the LAMA. We handed over 10 Tables, 10 Chairs, 3 Tat Bundles, blackboard, warm undergarments for students, teachers and local residents. This gesture was highly appreciated.
Thereafter we visited two villages where seven houses were being constructed. Here we handed over a cheque for Rs. 2 Lacs and relief material i.e. blankets, cloth, solar lights etc. etc. Now it was the turn of shopkeepers whose shops were damaged. An assistance ranging from Rs. 8000/- to Rs. 20,000/- per shop was given to them by cheque.
At 8 pm installation ceremony of a new branch of BVP at Leh was arranged attended by 15 members and some invitees. Lapel pins and BVP literature was given to members. National Secretary General apprised them about the Sanskar and Sewa activities of BVP. Three Office Bearers were nominated to run the branch.
On 13th we met the DM and discussed about relief work. We visited Solar colony where 16 marla land was allotted by the Govt. to a Society at Ladakh to start a Hospital. Bhartiya Vidya Niketan School and Hall of Fame were other important places that we visited in our last leg of journey. Much is needed to be done for our brethren of that area. BVP is committed for that venture.
