Our organization, established in 2002, is dedicated to advancing children's education in both rural and urban areas within the Raipur District. Our primary mission revolves around ensuring the effective implementation of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, aiming to provide quality education to every child.
In addition to our educational focus, we are actively involved in a project titled "Conservation-Based Resource Management in Bhoramdeo Wildlife Sanctuary to Attain Livelihood and Nutrition Security in Chhattisgarh." This initiative, funded by the DST Government of India, is designed to promote sustainable resource management for the benefit of Baiga tribal communities.

We are engaged in the implementation of the Street Vendors Act 2014, advocating for the rights and welfare of street vendors in the region. Our river conservation initiatives extend to the Shivnath, Kharun, and Mahanadi rivers, addressing environmental concerns and promoting sustainable practices. Lastly, we are committed to fostering volunteerism among the youth, encouraging them to actively support and uplift the weaker sections of society. Through these diverse programs, we aim to create a positive impact on education, livelihoods, environmental conservation, and social equity in the communities we serve.
