Assist Ooty anjuman

I am sure that a lot of you know of the Parsee Zoroastrian Anjuman in Ooty (The Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu). For those of you who don’t, it is one of the oldest anjumans in South India, dating back to 1847. This Anjuman serves the entire Zoroastrian community, south of Madras.

A lot of our land had been grabbed due to incomplete fencing. We are still fighting the case which has proved to be a financial drain to the Anjuman. At the same time, we also constructed a boundary wall around the property which again depleted our already dwindling finances. The Zoroastrian population has dwindled considerably as well. As a result, our annual subscription, though raised, has proved to be insufficient.

I hence appeal to you all to contribute generously to the Anjuman. If each of us could contribute something, we would be able to give a new lease of financial life to our beloved Anjuman.

Please send your generous contributions via cheque or demand draft to: Parsee Zoroastrian Anjuman, Account no.334402010209644, Union Bank of India, Coonoor. Cash contributions can be sent directly to H. N. Sethna, "West Croft,” Club Road, Coonoor, 643101.
