Project Happy Feet

Lodge Comrades No. 66, Saharanpur presented the students from families with meagre means, of Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram, Nawab Ganj Chowk Saharanpur, with essential footwear. A total of 35 students benefited from this initiative where each child was provided with a new pair of shoes and socks, promoting hygiene and comfort, and encouraging regular school attendance. The initiative highlights the commitment of Freemasons of the Lodge to social welfare and community service.

Lodge Friendship and Tamsa No. 303 organised a free Eye checkup and Cataract Surgery camp in association with Shankara Netralaya at Azamgarh on 21 April 2026. Light, in the many senses of the word, and the ability to see it, is one of the most important aspects of Freemasonry.

Here are a few images from the Eye camp, which benefited a large number of people.
