Moreover, Ekal recenlty received a generous donation of $500 K from Prabha Jhunjhunwala, daughter of Madanlal Agarwala, who started the Ekal Movement in late 1988 in India. “My father is my inspiration. He was a very compassionate soul and strongly believed that the Ekal Movement would transform India.
Were he alive, he surely would have been delighted to see strong global support reaching into 53,000 villages,” Prabha said. “When Prabha decided to make a donation in the name of her father, I couldn’t be happier,” said Vinod Jhunjhunwala, her husband and President of Ekal-USA. He further elaborated that,” the seed-money would help build an endowment that would ensure a strong financial footing for Ekal- USA.
