The home accommodates and cares for over 30 aged widows, providing them with free housing, meals, medical care and other necessities. Dr Batra's™ has been associated with Shepherd Widows Home for over 30 years and has been instrumental in providing a means for alternative and affordable healthcare to the beneficiaries. For over three decades, Dr Batra's™ has been committed to providing free lifetime healthcare treatment to the residents of Shepherd Widows Home.
Dr Mukesh Batra instituted the musical concert with the view to move beyond cheque book philanthropy. In this fast-paced world, children don't think before abandoning their parents and forget all that they have done for them. These women have gone through a lot in life and Dr Batra thinks that it is a duty to see that they do not spend their twilight years in isolation, pain and misery. He believes that they do not need pity but need love, care and company so that they do not feel lonely and left out from their families. This concert is not about the money that goes to them or the charity; it's a tribute to their spirit.
Speaking about the initiative, Dr Mukesh Batra said, "We have always been committed to providing holistic healthcare treatments to all our patients. Through Dr Batra's™ Foundation it has been our constant endeavor to extend this vision to the underprivileged and ensure that no one who is in need of medical intervention is left unattended. Yaadon Ki Bahaar is one such initiative to involve the community to support a worthy cause. It fills my heart with pride and a sense of fulfillment to see the lovely ladies at Shepherd Widows Home participate whole-heartedly in Yaadon Ki Bahaar. We remain steadfast in our efforts to ensure that the residents of Shepherd Widows Home not only receive a meaningful donation, but also continue to receive appropriate healthcare, and most importantly, have the time of their lives at this concert."
