About

Astha in Hindi means Faith in Almighty-that he’ll set everything right. And it was with this spirit that Astha Vraddhashram was started on 1 June 1992.

It is this Astha that takes you in its folds, as you make way through the gates of Astha Vraddhashram-a Happy Home for the Aged. All at once, the cacophony of traffic sounds disappears and you become part of a calm atmosphere..

A pretty little garden on the left abound with lush green grass and bright coloured flowers catch your attention. And just as you finish admiring the lovely sight, your gaze moves towards the verandah on the left where a few elderly gentlemen sit comfortably on plastic arm chairs talking, discussing and smiling once a while. They give you a welcome smile too! Some even say, ‘Namaste!’ They are all well-dressed and quite aware of their environs. Later you discover that one of them is a retired Professor from Mumbai who on his own decided to shift here.

Astha is strategically located on a sprawling 3-acre patch of land at Pardeshipura, Indore in Madhya Pradesh, India. It’s a spot very well selected. For , rarely you come across a place that is part of the city and yet so very aloof and unpolluted. And this is how Astha  Vraddhashram looks- lovely, cheerful and welcoming!

At Astha Vraddhashram, our one and only singular mission is to offer a happy home to the elderly men and women of the country.
The rising prices and cringing living spaces have all contributed to a new social order where the senior citizens find themselves lost with no one to talk to or share their thoughts. And then the lurking fear, “What if I fall sick?”
Astha Vraddhashram has been set up solely for this purpose. And this being, to reset the senior citizens in the society, attend to them when they are sick and, in the process, make them happy and confident again.

Astha Vraddhashram is a realization of a beautiful thought! And that being, to create a lovely living space for men and women of 60 years and above. Mainly because, the younger generation would not have been anywhere without their guidance and support.
And so, at Astha we have made every attempt to make the Ashram look and feel like a home. This we have achieved by having destitute women and poor children come and learn at our Ashram. This has helped us to make Astha Vraddhashram a very happy place to stay.
It is our vision to make the place still better by improving the infrastructure as also the facilities. At Astha Vraddhashram, we are ever open to feedbacks, ideas and financial aid; after all the world is one big family- वसुधैवकुटुम्बकम् (Vasudhaivakutumbakam).
