About Anubandh
A home for those with no one else to turn to.
Situated amidst beautiful and pollution free natural surroundings, at Nima Nimri, Mandore Road, on the outskirts of Jodhpur, is this place known as Anubandh — an institution given to the noble cause of support and service of old people deserted by their families, who are physically unfit, having no independent means of subsistence and have no one to fall back upon for support.
At present 75 inmates in all (ladies, gents and couples) between the age group of 70 to 96 years are residing here and receiving care and services of Anubandh staff with a warm personal touch.
