Even decades after independence, India's progress in medicine, trade and technology has not reached every child. Millions of underprivileged families are still forced to send their children to work rather than to school — girls into domestic labour, boys into tea shops, provision stores and workshops.
Denied their most basic rights, many of these children grow up alienated from a society that failed them. Amithabha Foundation was formed to interrupt that cycle at its root: by keeping children in school, bringing dropouts back into education, freeing children from labour, and giving deserving students the scholarships, shelter and care they need to build a different future.
Provide uninterrupted, quality education to children from poverty-stricken families.
Re-admit school dropouts and support them through to at least the 10th standard.
Identify children working in unsafe conditions and support their rehabilitation into education.
Support meritorious students from underprivileged backgrounds who cannot otherwise continue their studies.
Provide hostel-style accommodation with proper food, water and hygiene for deserving students.
Support existing children's homes weighed down by financial strain, so they can return to being places of care and learning.
The Foundation registered with NITI Aayog's NGO Darpan portal (ID: TS/2020/0255065), improving transparency and eligibility for government and institutional partnerships.
The Foundation's Children's Home, free tuition centres and women & girls empowerment sessions grew steadily, supported by scholarships and educational assistance for day scholars in the surrounding community.
