Current Indian Scenario

According to World Bank, while the Government of India has done an excellent work in the last 5 years from 2014 to 2019, towards reduction of poverty in India, and poverty levels have come down significantly, a large percentage of the population still lives below the poverty line (BPL).
Further, there are 20% ‘poor’ people who might be above the poverty line but can’t afford proper nutrition and education for their children.
65% of India’s population lives in rural areas and nearly 50% of India’s population depends on agriculture for subsistence, whereas agriculture contributes only 14-16% to GDP. This leads to migration of masses to urban centers causing an overload on infrastructure.
This also gives rise to unemployment which in-turn causes frustration and despair and often leads to social evils.
A large number of the workforce is employed in the unorganized sector.
A large number of rural and urban workforce has no “marketable skills’.
Nearly 1.5 billion people worldwide, 22% of the world’s population, live below the poverty line. South Asia, China and Sub-Saharan Africa are major contributors.

Our Mission & Values

"If each one of us can take a step forward and make a small contribution, there will be billions of steps forward and our world will become a happier place with hope, peace and dignity for all. Let's feel the pain of others, let's be human."

"We truly believe that ‘Love’ means ‘To Give’. The more we give to those who are less fortunate, the more we show our love to God because the ecosystem that God has created requires everyone within the system to support each other, be it human beings, animals or nature. This is the basis for the sustainability of mother earth and thus the future generations."
