In expansion mode, HYV starts daily ‘jan sunvai’ in Varanasi region
VARANASI : A new signboard mentions the Hindu Yuva Vahini with an arrow pointing at its refurbished office at the Gorakhnath Math in the crowded Maidagin area of Varanasi. Floated by Yogi Adityanath, the then Gorakhpur MP and present UP chief minister, Hindu Yuva Vahini (HYV), which had kept a low profile for about four years, is in expansion mode in the Varanasi region in 2022 through a daily jan sunvai (public hearing) programme launched in the first week of April.
During the jan sunvai held for two hours daily, a senior office bearer of the Hindu Yuva Vahini sits at the office and listens to the complaints of the people and gets their problems solved.
On average, 40 people visit the HYV office with complaints as the organisation seeks to strengthen its hold among the people. Take the case of Ankit Singh, resident of Azamgarh. He travelled all the way from Azamgarh to the Hindu Yuva Vahini office at Maidagin in Varanasi.
He submitted an application mentioning the estimated financial assistance required for his ailing father Shamsher Singh.
Ankit Singh said, “I heard about this jan sunvai from a local (resident of Azamgarh) who got financial assistance with the help of HYV. He gave me the mobile number of HYV divisional coordinator Ambarish Singh Bhola. I called him up and he asked me to come to the office. I arrived here in the morning and submitted my application. I am quite hopeful that my application will reach the chief minister and I will get relief.” Munnu Lal Maurya, resident of Khojwain (Varanasi), sits at the HYV office in Maidagin. His 26- year- old son Bharat Maurya has been missing since July last year. He lodged a complaint at the Bhelupur police station and has now requested Hindu Yuva Vahini divisional coordinator to speak to the police so that some action may be taken. Similarly, Prince Jaiswal, resident of Bhelupur area in Varanasi, has come for help in a property dispute with his father. Ambarish Singh Bhola, the Varanasi region divisional coordinator of HYV, said, “Jan Sunvai has been started at HYV office to help the needy and the poor. An office bearer sits at the office daily, listens to complaints and makes efforts to get them redressed.” Bhola himself sits at the office on Wednesday.
“On an average, 40 to 50 people, who come with complaints of various sorts, are attended in the public hearing daily,” he said. “A team of HYV confirms that the person really needs help, then we submit the application ofto the office of chief minister Yogi Adityanath Ji Maharaj,” said Bhola.
Ever since the jan sunvai has started, around 20 ailing people have been helped in getting financial assistance from the UP government in the last 30 days, said Bhola. HYV has over 10,000 members in four districts in Varanasi region and the organisation is expanding, said Bhola. HYV is headquartered in Gorakhpur
