Mangaluru: Snehalaya, Shraddha Foundation reunites woman with family after 28 years
Mangaluru: A woman who had been missing for nearly 28 years was finally reunited with her family, thanks to the efforts of Snehalaya and Shraddha Foundation. Chaitali, also known as Kanchanmala Lai, was welcomed back by her husband, children, and brothers after being separated from them for almost three decades.
Chaitali’s two sons had lost hope of ever seeing their mother again. One of them is an army officer in Amritsar, while the other works in Silchar. They were overwhelmed with emotion when they saw their mother alive and well.
Snehalaya rescued Chaitali on September 13, 2023, and worked hard to identify her. Since there were no personal details available, the team made several attempts, including using social media, to trace her family. On November 25, 2024, she was transferred to Shraddha Foundation. Finally, a woman recognized Chaitali’s family members, leading to the long-awaited reunion.
This heartwarming reunion was made possible by the relentless efforts of Snehalaya and Shraddha Foundation. Snehalaya has so far helped reunite more than 1,490 missing persons with their families across India. The organization is widely appreciated for its dedicated work in bringing families together, regardless of caste, language, or religion.

Sharad Pawar, Ajit Pawar share dais at Satara event, second time in a week
Pune, Apr 12 (PTI): NCP (SP) head Sharad Pawar and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar shared the dais at an event in Satara on Saturday.
This was the second time this week that the two leaders were seen together.
Sharad Pawar on Thursday attended the engagement ceremony of Ajit Pawar’s younger son Jay Pawar near Pune.
Pawar senior and his nephew Ajit, who heads the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), are on opposite sides of the political divide in Maharashtra since the latter rebelled against his uncle in 2023 and joined the then BJP-Shiv Sena government.
In a social media post after the Satara event, Sharad Pawar said the meeting of the Managing Council of Rayat Shikshan Sanstha was held on Saturday at Chhatrapati Shivaji College.
“During the meeting, the council decided to launch a monthly magazine titled Rayat. The aim is to include diverse and informative articles on topics like education, science, technology, health, literature, sports, social issues, art, culture, and global affairs, and to ensure wide dissemination of this content,” he said.
Besides, it was also decided to start courses on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, IoT, Robotics, and 3D Printing, he said.
“It has been decided to start a ‘Center of Excellence’ in Satara. It was also decided to undertake many such visionary initiatives. I, as the president of the organisation, thank all the members of the Managing Council for their cooperation,” he added.
