Aash Marwaha, the title holder of “Fashprism Miss India”, visited Aatmsukh Aatmdev Aashram (For Living Gods), Old Kanak Mandi, Hoshiarpur, where she spent quality time with the special children, fondly known as the “Living Gods” of the Ashram. She graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, while Avinash Rai Khanna attended as the Guest of Honour.
On her arrival, she was warmly welcomed with a floral bouquet. A special function was organized in her honour, during which Miss Aash Marwaha presented 7 sets of ladies suits to Amandeep Kaur. The prize was instituted by Tek Chand Sud Charitable Trust in recognition of her outstanding achievement of winning a Gold Medal in the National Hockey Championship held in Faridabad. Cash prizes of Rs. 3000 and 2000 were also given to Principal Sh. Pawan Kumar and Special Teacher Mrs. Sapna respectively.
On the same occasion, Sagar, a student of the Ashram, who secured a Bronze Medal in the SKF Gothia Cup 2026 National Football Championship held in Gwalior, was awarded a track suit sponsored by the Trust.
The programme featured a remarkable Yoga Asana performance by seven students of the Ashram, showcasing flawless coordination and discipline, which was highly appreciated by all present. A vibrant dance performance on a Punjabi song by Ms. Suneha, another student of the Ashram, emerged as the highlight of the event.
Addressing the gathering, Shri Avinash Rai Khanna appreciated the commendable efforts of the Ashram under the leadership of Navdeep Sud. He lauded the institution for nurturing the hidden talents of special children despite limited resources, notably the absence of a playground. He further appreciated that the Ashram provides completely free services and extends financial assistance of ₹40,000 to the parents of needy children.
Miss Aash Marwaha, in her address, praised the dedication of the management, teachers, and support staff, who are tirelessly working towards making these children self-reliant despite the challenges involved.
The event was graced by several distinguished guests including Arun Sood, Anurag Sood, Aarti Sood, Diwan Chand, Avtar Singh Kang, Anil Kumar, Sameer Bansal, Urvashi Sood, Yogesh Sood, and Vijay Sood.
The programme concluded with a lunch hosted for all guests, students, and staff members.
