“Dwarka Prasad Ji Goyal” is not a widely recognized place or cultural site, but rather the name of an Indian academic and professor. He was a distinguished scholar and served as the Vice-Chancellor of Kurukshetra University. His legacy is primarily in the field of education rather than as a physical location.

Arogya Rath

“Arogya Rath” is a mobile health clinic initiative, most famously launched in India, designed to provide healthcare services to remote and underserved communities. The program, whose name translates to “Health Chariot” or “Health Caravan,” was historically championed by political and social leaders to make medical care accessible directly to people’s doorsteps. It represents a significant effort to bridge the healthcare gap in rural areas by offering check-ups, medicines, and health education.

Agrasen Jayanti

It is an annual celebration that commemorates the birth anniversary of the legendary Indian king Maharaja Agrasen, a revered advocate for equality and non-violence. The festival is marked by cultural processions and community service, reflecting the values of his ancient Agroha kingdom.
