Our Project
Work with children
Children are the future of our society. They should be nurtured carefully. But as the day progresses children’s lives are being spoiled in many ways. So our society is getting darker day by day.
Work with women
Though we are living in the 21st century till women are not empowered. There are places wherein women do not have the right to be educated, and independent. This is very heart-breaking .
Natural calamity
When nature decides to show how cruel it can be no one can prevent it. We have been realizing this since a few days ago. A couple of days ago we as well as the whole of West Bengal.
Empower health care
Health care is the most important matter of life. But most people neglect it. Especially the people of the village. They do not notice their health even do not get proper facilities.
Change the lives of children and vulnerable

Our Story
ASHA NGO
Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Singh, Founder and Secretary of the organization, holds a Master’s Degree in Human Rights from the Indian Institute of Human Rights, New Delhi. Having worked with several organizations in the development sector, he closely observed the persistent gaps between rights holders and duty bearers, which often prevented marginalized communities from accessing their entitlements and living with dignity. Motivated by these realities, he envisioned an organization dedicated to empowering disadvantaged populations who were often excluded from mainstream development processes.
Recognizing that many social issues originate in rural areas before manifesting in urban settings, he chose to focus the organization’s work in rural communities. He was particularly concerned about the deep-rooted challenges of caste-based discrimination and social exclusion, which disproportionately affected lower-caste groups and minority communities.
His experience highlighted the need to empower these vulnerable populations through social action, awareness-building, and advocacy so that they could identify their rights, voice their concerns, and engage effectively with government institutions to address their issues.
Sharing this vision with like-minded social workers and philanthropists, he received strong support and commitment from individuals who agreed to join the initiative. Their collective efforts culminated in the formal establishment of the organization, which was registered under the West Bengal Societies Registration Act, 1961, on 17 September 2007.
