प्रार्थना
वह शक्ति हमें दो दयानिधे,
कर्तव्य मार्ग पर डट जावें।
पर सेवा पर उपकार में हम,
जग जीवन सफल बना जावें।
हम दीन दुखी निबलों विकलों
के सेवक बन संताप हरे।
जो हैं अटके भूले भटके,
उनको तारें खुद तर जावें।
छल दम्भ द्वेष पाखण्ड झूठ-
अन्याय से निशि दिन दूर रहे।
जीवन हो शुद्ध सरल अपना,
सुचि प्रेम सुधारस बरसावें।
निज आन मान मर्यादा का,
प्रभु ध्यान रहे अभिमान रहे।
जिस देश जाति में जन्म लिया,
बलिदान उसी पर हो जावें।।
Our Story
In the bustling city of Prayagraj, where dreams and aspirations intermingle with daily struggles, a chance encounter with three children studying under street lights sparks a transformative journey for one man. Inspired by the vision of India’s future reflected in those children, he takes it upon himself to bring light to the lives of countless other children facing similar obstacles. Thus, the AROHAN Foundation is born, dedicated to providing education and hope to underprivileged children in cities, states and across the nation.
The Serendipitous Meeting As the man walks towards his evening tea, he spots three children huddled together under the dim glow of streetlights, their determination to study despite the odds reminding him of a poignant tale from Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Ji’s childhood. Intrigued by their spirit, he decides to support them in any way he can.
A Growing Mission The man’s encounters with the children continue, and he starts assisting them with various resources to facilitate their education. As days pass, his connection with the young minds deepens, and he realizes that there may be countless other children in similar circumstances, longing for education and a brighter future.
The man arrives at the familiar spot to find the children and their family gone. Learning that the house was demolished by the authorities to clear encroachments, he embarks on a fruitless quest to locate the family. This incident serves as a turning point, motivating him to take broader action to uplift the lives of underprivileged children across Prayagraj.
A Vision Takes Shape Driven by a vision to create a positive impact, the man shares his ambition with his colleagues from the Allahabad University. He urges them to join him in this noble endeavor of providing free education to children living in challenging circumstances. Together, they conceptualize AROHAN Foundation, an organization dedicated to transforming lives through education.
AROHAN’s Humble Beginnings On 2nd October, Gandhi Jayanti, a day symbolizing the spirit of change and progress, AROHAN Foundation takes its first steps. Their inaugural visit to Broodkhana, Teliarganj, Prayagraj marks the beginning of their mission to make education accessible to every child in need.
The Journey to Empowerment AROHAN Foundation, fueled by the determination to illuminate the paths of young minds, officially registers as a non-profit organization under the Society Act 1860 on 20th April 2018. Their mission gains momentum, drawing in support from various individuals and organizations who share the belief in the power of education.
Nurturing Dreams As the Foundation flourishes, it extends its reach to various slums and impoverished neighborhoods across Allahabad. Through innovative teaching methods, mentorship, and community engagement, AROHAN empowers children to dream big and work towards a brighter future.
Impact and Transformation Over the years, AROHAN witnesses numerous success stories, as children once studying under the streetlights now find themselves on the path to success. Education becomes a catalyst for change, breaking the cycle of poverty and shaping a new generation of empowered individuals.
A Beacon of Hope AROHAN’s impact resonates not only in Allahabad but beyond, inspiring similar initiatives in neighboring cities and states. The Foundation’s relentless dedication to education becomes a beacon of hope, showing the world the transformative power of a single act of kindness.
Empowering India’s Future As AROHAN Foundation continues to grow, it remains steadfast in its commitment to providing education and support to underprivileged children. With every child they empower, they contribute to building a stronger, brighter India, where dreams are nurtured, and potential is realized.
The AROHAN Foundation’s journey is a testament to the profound impact of education and the transformative power of compassion. From a chance encounter to a city-wide mission, the Foundation’s efforts continue to create a ripple effect of positive change in the lives of countless children.
