Dashrath Putra Foundation (DPF) | Radhey Sewa – The Street Defenders
Event Overview
Bhavnagar, popularly known as the Sanskar Nagari (City of Culture) of Saurashtra, is a city deeply connected with heritage, compassion, and community values. From the coastal site of Nishkalank Mahadev to Maa Khodiyar at Rajpara and Takhteshwar Mahadev, the city is known for its historical and cultural significance.
Following the encouraging response to its previous initiatives, Dashrath Putra Foundation (DPF) – Radhey Sewa is organizing the Bhavnagar Sewa Drive on 19 July 2026. The initiative aims to encourage community participation through activities focused on animal welfare, environmental conservation, cleanliness, public service and digital awareness.
The campaign is based on the idea that meaningful community service extends beyond individual acts of devotion and can be expressed through compassion for living beings, protection of public spaces, environmental responsibility and support for fellow citizens.
Through this initiative, volunteers will work together to contribute towards making Bhavnagar cleaner, greener, kinder and more compassionate.
Our Philosophy
Bhakti Without Sewa Is Incomplete

- Every smile created.
The mission is built upon the belief that true spirituality inspires responsibility.
