About Us

An institution built on one woman's quiet generosity

The Anandi Devi Charitable Trust exists to improve lives through sustainable initiatives in education, healthcare, women's empowerment, and community development.

Our Story

Why we were established

The Trust was founded to carry forward the values of Late Anandi Devi — a life spent quietly lifting others, without asking for recognition in return. What began as informal support to a handful of families has grown into a structured Trust working across several districts.

We remain, deliberately, a working charity rather than a large institution: every rupee is tracked, every project is visited, and every report is published for anyone to read.

Our Vision

An equitable society

To build a society where every individual — regardless of background, gender, age, or economic status — has access to education, healthcare, dignity, opportunity, and hope.

Our Mission

We improve lives through sustainable charitable initiatives across education, healthcare, women's empowerment, child welfare, environmental conservation, disaster relief, livelihood generation, and community development — believing that meaningful change begins with compassion and grows through collective action.
