Deepawali celebration with orphan children
- Kanoon Live
Supreme Court Advocate Poulomi Pavini Shukla celebrated Deepawali with orphan children at the Government Orphanage on Prag Narayan Road, Lucknow. Her husband, Prashant Sharma, IAS, was with her as well. They distributed warm clothes, sweaters, leggings etc, along with chocolates, cookies and sweets to the children.
For many years, Advocate Poulomi Pavini Shukla and her husband Prashant Sharma celebrate all festivals at orphanages, with orphan children. A few days ago, on the auspicious occasion of Maha Navami, instead of the usual _Kanya Bhoj_ at their house, they went to a Girls Orphanage and treated 100 orphan girls to a _Kanya Bhoj_ with pizza!
Ms. Poulomi has authored a book on the plight of orphan children, titled "Weakest on Earth - Orphans of India", which was published by Bloomsbury. She has also filed a PIL in the Supreme Court and is fighting for orphans' right for equal opportunities and support from the State.
