Udaipur, March 11, 2026 (Udaipur Kiran): Addressing the social challenges faced by persons with disabilities, Narayan Seva Sansthan will organise its 45th Divyang and economically weaker mass wedding ceremony on March 14–15 at the institution’s premises, Seva Mahatirth, Badi, in Udaipur.

A total of 102 divyang and financially underprivileged brides and grooms from different states across the country will begin a new chapter of their lives as 51 couples solemnise their marriage through traditional Vedic rituals and the sacred seven pheras.

The participating couples include individuals with different disabilities—some without hands, some without legs, some visually impaired, and others with hearing or speech impairments. Notably, several of the brides and grooms have previously received free medical treatment, surgeries, artificial limbs, assistive devices, and skill training at the same institution. Their marriage at the institute marks another milestone in their journey towards rehabilitation and self-reliance.

Narayan Seva Sansthan President Prashant Agarwal said that over the past 21 years, the institution has successfully conducted marriages for 2,510 divyang men and women. He emphasised that the organisation remains committed to providing dignity, opportunities, and a secure future to persons with disabilities rather than treating them with sympathy.

Addressing Barriers to Divyang Marriages

Social prejudice, financial hardship, physical dependence, lack of confidence, difficulty in finding suitable partners, and concerns about post-marriage livelihood are among the key challenges that often prevent divyang individuals from marrying. The institution works to overcome these barriers through several support measures, including free medical treatment and surgeries, artificial limbs, skill development training, transparent partner selection, complete marriage arrangements, and post-marriage support for household setup.

Household Support for Newlyweds

To help the newly married couples start their family life with stability, the institution will provide essential household items. These include a bed, mattress, pillows, blankets, bedsheets, cupboard, gas stove and cylinder, kitchen set with steel utensils, pressure cooker, tawa, kadai, plate and glass set, fan, sewing machine, wheelchair or assistive devices, trolley bag, water tank or buckets, drums, and other necessary household items.

A Model of Social Rehabilitation

According to the institution, linking rehabilitation of persons with disabilities with marriage and self-reliant family life represents a comprehensive social model. Donors, social workers, and researchers from across India and abroad have shown interest in understanding this initiative.

The two-day event will be held with Vedic traditions, mantra chanting, devotional music, and cultural dignity. Guests, saints, social workers, public representatives, and donors from India and abroad are expected to attend the ceremony, with several of them participating in the kanyadaan and blessing the newlyweds.

The event aims to bring new hope to 51 families while sending a strong message that compassion, service, and commitment are essential to sustaining true humanity.
