History of GSV – A humble beginning
A bright and pleasant Thursday morning in the month of July 2006 with soothing sunshine & cheery birds in the park changed the outlook for a few morning walkers after having witnessed weekly unpleasant scenes at a Dargah in the Main Park, Opposite Sector 15A, Noida. Promising young and innocent children deprived of basic socio-economic needs, were begging for alms. Efforts were made over time to politely discourage the almsgivers as it would only make the poverty-stricken children weaker to face and tackle the ills of their plight, but it was hardly heard by any.
It is then that Late Rear Admiral (Retd.) H.C. Malhotra, resident of Sector-15A, Noida interacted with Mr Sunil Razdan, one of the alms-givers, a middle aged and youthful Morning Walker. They both shared similar views and together firmed up on the view that there were deep rooted social ill effects, if begging of any kind was encouraged.
The next step was to actually teach the children in the evenings. Late Mr Kharu, a retired Govt headmaster from Kashmir, who had an experience of over 40 years in teaching in different schools there and had moved to NOIDA following retirement, volunteered his time to teach the children for a year.
