The ongoing COVID-19 crisis haas brought to fore the state of India’s crumbling healthcare system. People across the country are struggling to find hospital beds, medicines and oxygen.
While individuals and communities are doing their bit towards helping those in need, a gurdwara in Nanded has announced that it will release all the gold collected over the past 50 years for the construction of hospitals and medical institutions.
As per reports, the proposal has been moved by the chief priest of Gurdwara Takht Shri Hazoor Sahib because of lack of good hospitals in Nanded and is awaiting approval from the board. Currently people from Nanded have to go to Mumbai or Hyderabad to access medical facilities.
The proposal envisages building of a medical facility in Nanded or Aurangabad so that people can get treated there itself.
A video in this regard is going viral on social media.

India can solve its infinite problems if temples, Gurdwaras & other religious organizations money is chanelized for opening schools, colleges, creating health infra, research institutions and providing job related training to unemployed youths. Nanded Gurdwara has shown the path.

Very welcome decision indeed? When will all the other opulent places of worship follow this great humanitarian example set by the Nanded gurdwara? https://t.co/OlBZyHT1Sb

While petty minds fight over religion, Gurdwara in Nanded, one of 5 Takhts of Sikhs, has decided to use all its gold collected over the past five decades to construct hospitals and medical institutions. Is there a more large-hearted community than Sikhs?https://t.co/7E98fvnlYs

Isn’t this service 4 mankind. Donations made at religious places r 4 benefit of society. Y shd they be held as money making instruments – FD, market investments. Y not use donations 2 make Hospitals. If Nanded Gurdwara can, Y not Tirupati, Sirdhi, Siddhivinayak.. Y NOT ? #corona pic.twitter.com/hgtcJHc4p6
