Our efforts include distribution of good quality seeds and fertilizers free of cost to the farmers, help them with irrigational problems and educate the farmers about the best practises in farming and Animal husbandry.
Empowering Women in Backward communities
Once Swamiji had quoted that ” there is no chance of welfare of the world unless the condition of the woman is improved “. Inspired with his belief in the cause for empowerment of woman , we actively contribute to improve the status of Women in rural India where they are oppressed in many backward communities. We try to provide some minimal economic aid to womenin order to help them become financially independent. Also our foundation works towards facilitating adult education and several skill trainings specially for woman so that they become skilled and educated enough to support themselves financially. Many of our educational scholarships are directed particularly promote women’s education and trainings.
Financial Aid For
Farmers & Artisans
India is a land of Skilled farmers and artisans. And most of these craftsmans and farmers come from the interior and under-developed parts of the country. The farmers are poorly equipped and they do not have access to good quality seeds, fertilizers and up to date irrigational methods. We organize various support drives for these farmers , where good quality seeds and fertilizers are distributed free of cost , also we work towards installation of deep tubewells and water pumps in areas with poor annual rainfall. In order to support artisans going out of work with modern techniques of production becoming popular we promote weaver communities and other artisans engaged in making of wooden and earthen handcrafted items.
Medical Aid
Offering affordable medical help to all the people who cannot afford it has been one of our main charity causes. Medical facilities are unavailable and also beyond the affordability fo people living in the remote villages. Death due to common diseases like typhoid , pneumonia and tuberculosis is rampant in these places. we organise regular blood donation camps , free health check-ups , and other health awareness drives every year. During the pandemic we have reached to interior villages and distributed free masks and other hygiene products ensuring the safety of of health of the people.
