New Delhi: Known as ‘Langar Baba’, Jagdish Lal Ahuja will be honoured with a Padma Shri. He has been awarded the prestigious award for his selfless social service spanning decades. He is 84-years-old.
He worked hard to become a self-made crorepati. But his urge to do something for the society saw him sell his property worth crores and start the langar that has been a great support to patients and their relatives who come for medical treatment and can’t afford to buy expensive food.
Ahuja set up his langar in the 80s. He shifted his langar outside PGIMER in the year 2000. Since then, he has been serving food to people till date.
He serves more than 2000 people daily.
