About AhamBhumika
               
"Ahambhumika" is a   Bhopal based NGO.The members of the NGO are from different
walks of life and all of them are working to support their family and besides

grain thus collected will be provided to the needy widows,children living in the
villages. Besides that the illiterate women of the villages will be taught basic

The NGO has started one such class namely "GRAIN SCHOOL" in a village namely
Mahabadia, distt.Bhopal. Most of the women of these village works as construction labourer  and during evening time they attend the literacy  classes.

There are many adolescent  girls too in this village who have never been to
school due  to domestic reasons and poverty. They too could be taught basic Hindi reading  & writing. But since we won’t have much quantity of grain we are not able to
accommodate them.To scale up this work and publicize our effort this exhibition is organized in Bhopal.

About The City Bhopal
                        Bhopal, the city of Lakes and the city of Surma Bhopalies, is the Capital of the Tiger State on India, Madhya Pradesh. Owing to its rich and diverse history, Bhopal has its own unique culture and even its own unique lingo called bhopali.
Life in Bhopal revolves around our numerous lakes and hills. We start our day with nice morning breeze flowing from bada talav refreshing the whole city, and we end our day walking through the lake view road with lush green hill on the one side and the lake on the other.The Bhopal is also famous for the hand made “batua” (ladies  money purse).Hub of artists and art work namely ”Bharat Bhawan” is located at the heart of the city. Beautiful monument of Shiv temple,Bhojpour is a run of hardly 45 minutes from Bhopal.
