Rajendra Bhuyan: From Lost to Found
On October 14, 2024, officials found Rajendra Bhuyan wandering disoriented in Guvedapadu, Manjeshwar, and brought him to Sai Nikethana Seva Ashram. He had been separated from his family in Jharkhand for nearly a year, his mental health deteriorating during his time as a homeless person.
At Sai Nikethana, Rajendra received our holistic care approach: medication, structured exercise, counseling, and community activities. As his clarity returned, our team meticulously pieced together fragments of information about his home and family.
Through persistent investigation, we successfully traced Rajendra’s roots to a village in Palama district of Jharkhand, and contacted his family who had been searching for him unsuccessfully. For the final journey home, we collaborated with Shraddha Rehabilitation Center in Mumbai, who helped transport him safely across the country.
On March 10, 2025, after months of healing and careful planning, Rajendra was reunited with his mother, who embraced him with tears of joy. This moment—a mother who had feared her son lost forever now welcoming him home—reaffirmed our mission at Sai Nikethana: restoring lives and rebuilding connections that seemed irretrievably broken.
