. Free cremation services for Below Poverty Line (BPL) families have been launched in Tamil Nadu by the Isha Foundation.State municipal administration minister, K N Nehru, inaugurated the service in Chennai on Tuesday. The free service is meant to help families who may struggle to pay for final rites. The Foundation currently runs 17 gas crematoriums in partnership with the Tamil Nadu government and is set to take charge of three more. A member of the Isha Kayantha Sthanam team, Maa Gurudasi, said the organisation has been managing these crematoriums for around 15 years across several districts.“For the past 15 years, under Sadhguru’s guidance, IshaFoundation has been managing crematoriums in several districts of Tamil Nadu in partnership with the state government. In these facilities, Isha has revived ancient traditions and death rituals with a powerful energy basis, conducting them in the spirit of service rather than as a commercial venture,” Maa Gurudasi said. She said the staff try to handle the process with care and sensitivity so that families feel supported during a difficult time.Staff members receive training to handle bodies respectfully and to maintain the quiet, solemn atmosphere expected at these facilities. A separate mandapam is available for families who want to perform traditional rituals.The crematoriums managed by the foundation are located in Chennai, Vellore, Thanjavur and parts of Coimbatore district, including areas such as Nanjundapuram, Veerakeralam, Thudiyalur, Podanur, Vellalore, Alandurai, Thondamuthur, Karamadai and Goundampalayam.The foundation has said it hopes to expand this model in the coming years by taking up more crematoriums across the country to ensure accessible and dignified services.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosBJP’s Nishikant Dubey Counters Rahul Gandhi, Accuses Cong Of Weakening India’s Key InstitutionsWhy Trump Accuses India Of Dumping Rice And What A New Tariff Shock Could Mean For Trade Relations’Vote Chori Is The Biggest Anti-National Act’: Rahul Gandhi Slams BJP In Lok Sabha’China…Trump…Economy’: Kharge Hits Out At PM Modi, Amit Shah In Rajya Sabha‘BJP Insulting Gandhi, Patel, Tagore’: Kharge Slams Amit Shah Over Vande Mataram & Nehru Claims’No Link To Bengal’: Amit Shah’s Fiery Speech on Vande Mataram, Blames Nehru, Indira of SabotageBJP’S Sanjay Jaiswal Thanks Rahul Gandhi For ‘Vote Chori’ Charge, Claims It Boosted NDA’S Bihar WinWhy India’s New Right To Disconnect Bill Could Transform Work Culture, Protect Millions From Burnout’BLOs Are Dying, Shut Down SIR’: Manish Tewari’s Charge Triggers Showdown Over Election ReformsAs IndiGo Spirals Into Crisis, PM Modi Stresses Rules Must Ease Citizens’ Lives, Not Burden Them123PhotostoriesBaby girl names inspired by sports personalities5 fruits that can boost collagen in your skinLesser-known facts about ‘Dhurandhar’ star Akshaye Khanna: the actor who almost married Karisma Kapoor and remained single at 5010 best places to celebrate New Year’s Eve in India for those who want to avoid crowdsBirch by Romeo Lane torn down: Photos of Luthra brothers’ demolished Goa nightclub8 healthy desi dishes that should be part of daily winter meals5 tips that can help you poop better before going to workShe Travels: 10 wildlife safaris every woman should experience with her girl gang (India edition)From teeth to tone: What people spot about you in the first 5 secondsNutrition fact of the day: Egg yolk contains rare brain nutrients123Hot PicksCandace OwensCharlie KirkWorld NewsGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingJalen HurtsDonald TrumpJEE Main New RecommendationsMariasharapova and Alexander Net worthAryna Sabalenka Net WorthAlix EarleRafael Nadal and Mery Net WorthCandace OwensTop US Colleges Co-OpProgramsF-1 students US
