Shrimati Ruxmaniben Dipchandbhai Gardi Vrudhashram – Dikra Nu Ghar is not just a shelter—it's a sanctuary for over 65 elderly citizens who live with dignity, comfort, and the warmth of a family. Operated by Samarpan Charitable Trust, our mission is to create a compassionate home for elders who may be alone but are never forgotten.
Founded by the Samarpan Charitable Trust and named in honor of philanthropist Shrimati Ruxmaniben Dipchandbhai Gardi, Shrimati Ruxmaniben Dipchandbhai Gardi Vrudhashram – Dikra Nu Ghar was envisioned as a place where abandoned or lonely senior citizens could feel the love and security of a devoted family. True to its name (literally "Home of a Son"), it strives to be a son's home for every elder - a place of warmth, care and emotional belonging rather than a mere institution.
