President's Note

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I'm thrilled to share that VT Seva's Cancer Awareness and Prevention Pillar, aka 'Mahila Arogya Vikas' program in India, has reached a remarkable milestone of 1500 medical camps, benefiting 3.4 million women across India. Our team's dedication to providing cancer awareness, treatment, and care has been inspiring, and I'm grateful for their tireless efforts.

As we look to the future, our vision is ambitious: to screen 10 million women by 2040. We need your support to make this happen. I invite you to join us in this journey by sponsoring a camp in your hometown or a place that's close to your heart. Your contribution will empower women, strengthen families, and build a healthier future for India.

Let's work together to achieve this goal, one camp at a time. Reach out to us to learn more about sponsoring a camp or getting involved with VT Seva's Mahila Arogya Vikas program.

With gratitude and hope,

Kiran

UNION FEST 2025

Celebrating the First Anniversary of the Statue of Union


From August 7–10, 2025, Sri Ashtalakshmi Temple in Sugar Land, TX, hosted Union Fest 2025 under the divine guidance of HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami ji, marking the first anniversary of the Statue of Union. The festival highlighted the values of service, harmony, and respect, with participation from civic leaders, community representatives, and over 5,000 attendees.


A major highlight was the selfless service of VT Seva volunteers, who worked closely with the temple to ensure the event's success. Youth volunteers led efforts in devotee management, prasadam distribution, cultural activities, audio-visual coverage, and front desk support. Their dedication reflected the spirit of unity and the mission of VT Seva to serve with compassion.

Tribute to Bharath

On this 79th Indian Independence Day, our youths from Detroit, Maryland, and Columbus came together with pride and purpose to honor India’s legacy.

  • Detroit team spotlighted India’s heritage sites, showcasing the nation’s cultural treasures.
  • Maryland and Columbus teams honored freedom fighters and heritage sites, remembering the sacrifices that paved the way to independence.

These youth-led initiatives were more than celebrations, they were a reminder of the importance of connecting with our roots, cherishing our history, and carrying forward the spirit of freedom.

May we continue to learn from the past, celebrate the present, and inspire the future. After all, freedom is best celebrated through service.

High School Clubs

“Unleash Your Potential, Make a Difference!”

At VT Seva, our youth-led clubs are more than just gatherings; they’re communities of changemakers. Across Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Dallas, Detroit, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia, our 32 high school clubs and 2 university clubs organized hundreds of events last school year, spreading kindness, creativity, and service across communities.

Every event is an opportunity to learn, lead, and leave an impact. Whether you’re passionate about education, health, environment, or cultural initiatives, there’s a club for you. Join a VT Seva club and turn your ideas into action, your energy into change, and your time into something truly meaningful.

Step in. Serve. Shine. Your journey starts here.
