These items are tailored to meet the specific needs of each child, creating a more comfortable living environment.
2. Health and Nutrition Camps
Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti partners with local healthcare professionals to conduct Health Check-up Camps.

Children are also provided with vitamins, supplements, and, if needed, prescribed medications to ensure they receive adequate nutrition and healthcare.
3. Educational Support and Extracurricular Activities
Education being a priority, the foundation supplies books, stationery, and other learning materials to encourage continued academic growth.

Senior Citizens Health and Wellness
The Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti conducts regular health and wellness programs for senior citizens as part of its commitment to enhancing the lives of elderly community members. These initiatives are designed to provide vital healthcare services, emotional support, and a sense of belonging, making a meaningful impact on the well-being of elderly individuals, especially those who lack family support or face economic hardships.
One of the foundation’s flagship programs is the Senior Citizens Health and Wellness Camp, held quarterly in accessible locations to reach elderly individuals across rural and underserved areas. During these camps, a team of dedicated doctors, nurses, and healthcare volunteers provides free check-ups, screenings, and medical consultations to assess and manage common age-related health issues such as arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, and
cardiovascular diseases. These camps also include services like eye exams, dental check-ups, and distribution of necessary medications, ensuring that elderly participants receive holistic care under one roof.
To encourage socialization, the foundation organizes recreational activities such as group yoga sessions, light exercise routines, and storytelling circles, where participants can share their life stories, exchange ideas, and develop connections with their peers.
Additionally, the Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti provides free nutritional kits to promote a balanced diet for seniors. These kits contain essential food items like grains, pulses, and nutritious snacks, which are carefully selected to meet the dietary needs of the elderly. The foundation educates them on healthy eating habits and the importance of nutrition for maintaining vitality in old age.
In colder months, the foundation also distributes blankets and warm clothing to elderly participants to protect them against harsh weather, especially for those living in vulnerable conditions.
Through these health and wellness camps, the Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti not only ensures medical and nutritional support for elderly individuals but also offers them companionship, respect, and a sense of belonging, enhancing their quality of life and reinforcing the foundation’s dedication to their well-being.

Moreover, the Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti has initiated micro-credit schemes and self-help groups (SHGs) for women who aspire to start small businesses or home-based enterprises. These SHGs provide access to initial capital and foster a support network where women can share experiences, challenges, and success stories, building solidarity within the community.
Through its multifaceted approach, Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti continues to uplift women, offering them the tools and knowledge necessary to overcome socioeconomic barriers and lead dignified, independent lives.
Child Education
Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti has been a dedicated force in uplifting educational opportunities for children, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds. The foundation understands the critical role education plays in breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering children to build a brighter future. With a focus on holistic development and accessibility, our child education initiatives span several impactful programs:
- Community-Based Learning Centers: Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti has established several community learning centers in rural and underserved areas, providing a safe and supportive space for children to learn. These centers operate with the intention to supplement formal schooling and bridge gaps in learning. Each center is equipped with the necessary educational resources like books, stationery, and digital tools to ensure that every child has the materials they need to succeed.

Qualified volunteer teachers and mentors provide personalized guidance to help students overcome learning obstacles, keeping them motivated and equipped to excel in their studies.
3. Scholarship and Financial Aid Programs: Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti awards scholarships to deserving students who show promise and commitment to their education but lack the financial means to pursue it. The foundation assists with school fees, uniforms, books, and transportation costs. By easing the financial burden, the foundation ensures that economic constraints do not impede a child’s right to education.
4. Educational Workshops and Awareness Campaigns: We regularly organize workshops on diverse topics like health and hygiene, digital literacy, and environmental awareness to instill essential life skills in students. Additionally, our awareness campaigns encourage parents and communities to support and prioritize education, fostering a culture that values learning.

Skill Development for Older Children: Recognizing that some children in higher classes require vocational training to enhance future employability, the foundation conducts skill-building workshops in areas like computer literacy, basic accounting, and spoken English. These sessions prepare older students for both academic success and the professional world, creating pathways for them to become self-reliant.
6. Annual Talent and Creativity Competitions: To encourage creativity and self-expression, the Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti hosts annual competitions in arts, science projects, and cultural performances. These events give children a platform to showcase their talents, boost their confidence, and engage in healthy competition with their peers.
Plantation
Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti is committed to enhancing environmental sustainability and promoting a greener planet through its organized plantation drives. Over the past ten years, the foundation has been dedicated to improving green cover in rural and urban areas alike. These drives are designed not only to plant trees but also to raise community awareness about the importance of reforestation and environmental protection.
Each year, the foundation sets an ambitious target of planting hundreds of native and drought-resistant trees, aiming to improve air quality, preserve biodiversity, and combat climate change. Volunteers, local communities, schools, and various organizations come together during these events to create green spaces that will benefit future generations.
The plantation drives are carried out with a comprehensive approach. After selecting sites based on factors like soil quality and accessibility to water sources, the foundation works with environmental experts to ensure the right species of trees are planted. Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti also monitors these saplings through regular follow-up visits, ensuring their growth and survival. To encourage community involvement, the foundation organizes educational workshops on sustainable practices, emphasizing the role of each individual in protecting the environment.
Through its consistent and focused plantation efforts, Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti seeks to make a lasting impact, inspiring communities to embrace eco-friendly practices and fostering a collective responsibility towards the planet.
Blanket Distribution
Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti organizes regular blanket distribution drives, especially as winter approaches, to bring warmth and comfort to poor orphans who lack necessities. In these drives, foundation volunteers visit orphanages and shelters, primarily in underprivileged areas, to deliver blankets to children who are most vulnerable to the cold.
Each blanket is selected with care, ensuring it is warm, durable, and easy to maintain. The foundation also includes a small wellness package with each blanket, which may contain items like socks, hats, and gloves to provide additional protection during the winter. Volunteers often spend time with the children, engaging in activities that bring joy and upliftment, as well as educating them on maintaining their health during cold weather.
The blanket distribution program not only provides physical warmth but also fosters a sense of community and belonging for these young children. Yashoda Nandan Mahila Kalyan Evam Shiksha Samiti is committed to scaling up this activity every year, reaching more orphans and expanding to new areas to ensure no child is left exposed to the harsh winter. This initiative exemplifies the foundation’s core mission to support the well-being of deprived sections of society.
