Classes of Membership:
There are two classes of membership - Basic and Patron.
Basic Membership:
The basic membership fee is intended to cover the Mandal's administrative costs. Those paying the basic membership fee receive the Mandal's newsletter "Snehbandh". Such members, along with other members of the family, are also eligible to attend the Mandal's programs at the membership rates and to participate in the Mandal's activities. Non-members are charged higher entry fees for most of the programs.
Patron Membership:
Patron membership covers the basic membership plus the entry fees for the three main programs (Vasantik, Ganesh pooja and Diwali). In addition, a portion of the patron membership fee is eligible as a charitable donation for income tax purposes. Three levels of patron membership fees are available - single, couple (covers husband and wife only) and family (covers any dependent children under age 25 and dependent parents).
Patron Couple's and Patron Single's dependent children can attend the Mandal programs by paying member's rates, and can attend Youth Camp by paying member's rates.
