A Journey Accomplished
Details of An unconventional Service Project

Helping Society to think Positive about the Life

Presents

Members of Lion Club of
Kalunga were pained to notice
that people used to throw un-
burnt fire wood, highly
contaminated wearing apparel,
half burnt bodies
in to the Brahmani River during
the process of disposal of
mortal remains and thereby
causing immense pollution to
the river.
This prompted Lions Club of
Kalunga to venture for the
construction of
„MUKTI DHAM‟
Traditional Crematorium

With a record time collection
And competition of the project
Of Swarg Vahan and an Ambulance
put into operation in 1992.

The office and the garage for the vehicle :
With the appreciation of local administration who had recognized the integrity of
the Club and Club Members, who joined hands to construct this moderate
building as a safe abode for two Project vehicles and drinking water facility at
Civil Town ship.



Improvement in service is the theme of this club
and a new service added Air conditioned morgue
for the safe preservation of Body waiting for the
last rites

The concept of the establishment of Muti-Dham was adopted from the
already existing such facilities at Jamnagar and Rajkot in Gujrat.
Initially it was thought to establish Electronic Crematorium but the study
revealed that it‟s establishment is not economically viable at this stage.
Hence, a modest beginning was made for the establishment of improvised
Traditional Crematorium by installing two nos. of Cast Iron Pyres and this
facility was dedicated to the people on 16th Oct‟2001.
This was the beginning to save river water of Brahmani from pollution as well
as to minimize exploitation of Virgin Forest.


The notable features of improvised Traditional Crematorium are:
1. The location of the crematorium has been so selected that in course of
disposal of mortal remains, river water is not polluted.
2. The improved pyres have been so designed to save at least 40% of firewood
required to put the mortal remains into ashes. This comes to around 2
quintals (statistics show that about 5 quintals of wood on an average is
consumed for total disposal of mortal remains). Statistics further show that
on a average, at Rourkela, 6 bodies are put to flame daily, leading to a saving
of 4380 quintals of wood per annum. This comes from 22 nos. of trees (A 50
year old tree yields about 200 quintals of wood on an average). Thus 22
trees per annum are saved from being cut. The process is very quick. This
ultimately helps to conserve forest and maintain ecological balance.
3. To provide comfort and soothing atmosphere during cremation to the
mourners in the hour of their grief.
4. To gift a greener earth to our future generations.
5. To maintain clean and hygienic atmosphere at the cremation site.
6. To make the whole process of cremation simpler & faster.



Work in Progress A Journey Accomplished

The work started with the
limited funds from the
club members and the
MP LAD funds. A new
shed with two pyres was
developed and put into
the service of the mankind
which was inaugurated by
Sri Juel Oram, Union
Minister on 16th October
2001.


Benefits derived from a single 50 Year
old tree:
 Oxygen worth Rs.2.5 Lakhs.
 Pure air worth Rs.5.0 Lakhs.
 Improved soil quality and
conservation worth Rs.3.0 Lakhs.
 Monitoring water cycle and
maintenance of humidity worth
Rs.3.0 Lakhs.
 Bio-diversity conservation and
offering shelter for animals Rs.2.5
Lakhs.
 Production of Proteins for consumer

provides fuel, fodder and fruits as
the case may be throughout its life
which just can‟t be computed in
values.

A cast iron frame was developed with the collection tray for each pyre. This
system helped to save the wood to the extent of 40% because of better
design. This helped on containing pollution because of the reduced use of
wood & collection of ashes and “ashthi” in a systematic manner.
