The Maharana Chhatravas opens its doors

For twelve years Khushhali Foundation has worked to bring education to the children of the Gadhiya Lohar community, whose families have lived for generations along roadsides, at crossroads and in makeshift tents — homes where even daily needs are hard to meet, and where sending a child to school once seemed a dream.

When the first of these children were admitted to class one, few could have imagined where the journey would lead. Today Indradhanush children are passing class 10 and class 12, and some have gone on to job-oriented courses such as B.Sc. Nursing.

All through those years the Foundation's founder, Shri Sameer Mohan, held on to one more resolve: a hostel where these children could have a dignified life alongside their education. With the support of the Foundation's donors and well-wishers, that dream has come true. In 2026 the Maharana Chhatravas at Ramalay Parisar, in Naugava Jagir near Rithora, opened with nine selected children in its first phase.

The campus is still growing. A skill development centre, a medical centre and a temple are planned for Ramalay Parisar in the phases ahead. "This journey is not only about a building," the Foundation wrote, "but about building a new future with dignity, education and self-reliance."
