Bhimavaram NGO Starts Free Hearse for Poor and Orphans
BHIMAVARAM, Andhra Pradesh – August 13, 2025:A local charity, Manavatha NGO, is stepping up to help the poor and orphans by offering a free hearse service. Their goal? To make sure everyone gets a respectful send-off, even if they don’t have much money. West Godavari District Collector Chadalavada Nagarani officially kicked off the service on Wednesday, showing how local government and groups can team up to tackle important community needs.
What’s the Big Idea?
Manavatha NGO is making this hearse service happen. They’re known around Bhimavaram for helping out, and they spent around ₹12 lakh on a special vehicle for this service.
They saw that many families struggle to pay for transporting loved ones who’ve died. This can cause delays in funerals or, sadly, improper handling of bodies.
This new vehicle is a huge step in easing that stress. It’s there for anyone who needs it, ensuring everyone, no matter their money situation, gets a respectful final ceremony.
More Than Just a Ride: Doing Last Rites
Manavatha NGO is going beyond just transport. They’re also promising to perform the last rites for orphans, who often don’t have family to do it.
They’re really dedicated to making sure the deceased are treated with dignity. The NGO is filling a big gap in social services by paying attention to a need that’s often forgotten.
Need help? Call them at 94943-38086, 94901-04401, or 92474-62667. They want to be easy to reach when people need them most.
Official Approval and What It Means for the Community
District Collector Chadalavada Nagarani showed her support at the launch, praising Manavatha NGO and its chairman, Buddharaju Venkatapathi Raju.
She applauded them for their dedication to helping the community and taking on a job that makes a real difference for the most vulnerable. This support from officials gives the service credibility and builds trust.
This service is expected to make a big difference locally. It’ll ease the stress on families, both emotionally and financially, and make sure everyone’s final trip is respectful.
It also shows how local groups and the government can team up to fix tricky social problems, setting a good example for others.

A Common Problem
Needing this kind of help isn’t unique to Bhimavaram. All over the country, many families with little money struggle to arrange transport and final rites for those who’ve passed.
It’s especially tough in rural areas where these services are hard to find or too expensive. This free service in Bhimavaram could be a solution for other places facing the same issue.
It shows how important it is to be kind and caring in community service. Everyone deserves a dignified end, no matter how much money they have.
What’s Next?
To keep this service running, Manavatha NGO will need the community’s help and their own commitment. Being able to keep the vehicle running and perform the last rites is crucial.
That initial ₹12 lakh investment is a big deal. The positive response so far suggests they might get enough volunteers and donations to keep things going.
This vehicle marks a fresh start for community support in Bhimavaram. It proves that a dedicated group can really improve life for the poor and overlooked, even when things are tough.
