In a joint endeavor, Parul and Falgun Sheth are strengthening the existing public school system of small Indian towns to better meet the needs of children and, ultimately, to curb child labor.
By drawing in parents, teachers and the public, Parul and Falgun are extending the opportunity-and responsibility-of educating and nurturing children to a broader group of people than the children's immediate family, making it less likely for children to drop out or be taken out of school.
To return working children to school and keep them there, Parul and Falgun are training volunteers to work with public school teachers to engage children in learning through lively and interactive activities.

Though it is quite clear that 5 crores of Jain monks had observed complete fast till death on 15th day of Falgun Sud and 14th day of Falgun Sud is the greatest occasion of chaumashi chaudash, why then the 13th day of Falgun Sud is selected as the greatest day for pilgrimage.
In answer to this question, some will say that this is the pilgrimage of "Dahin and Dhebra" (Curd and fried bread.) In Jin Shashan there is no pilgrimage merely for eating and drinking.
So with five crore disciples, he came to this hill and observing fast till death on Falgun Sud 15th, he achieved salvation on Chaitra Sud 15th.

 Rediff On The NeT Travel: A travel feature on celebrating Holi in India.
The full moon of the month of Falgun, the last month of the Hindu calendar, marks Holi, a colourful festival which has such a three-dimensional significance.
Firstly, because of the romance of nature, which blossoms in the form of flowers and fruit on every tree, Holi is a festival of flowers and colours and is associated with the divine lover Krishna playing with colours - coloured water and gulal or coloured powder -- with the gopis or girls of Brindavan.
As the sun sets on the Holi (Dhulivandan) day and the full moon of Falgun rises resplendently in the clear, starry firmament, people retire after hours of merrymaking, tired from playing with colours and flowers and satiated after feasting on fabulous harvest meals.
