Embracing Devotion, Culture, and Spirituality

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we are dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich heritage of Hindu religion and culture. We celebrate the divine love of Radha Krishna by organizing daily puja, bhoj, sandhyarati, and special occasional puja with utmost devotion. Our mission is to keep alive the timeless traditions, foster spiritual growth, and nurture a deep sense of faith and belonging.

We aim to protect and serve temples, perform seva, sringar, and rituals, and organize cultural events that celebrate the essence of devotion. Through youth education, empowerment, and cultural awareness programs, we instill values of compassion, harmony, and righteousness in the younger generation.

Join us in our journey to uphold the spirit of devotion, spread the teachings of Radha Krishna, and create a harmonious community rooted in love, respect, and spirituality.

Education & Literacy

As per the Indian Constitution, Article 21(A) ensures that children aged 6-14 years must receive free and compulsory education. It emphasizes the importance of providing education to children who cannot afford it due to financial constraints, despite their eagerness to learn and grow.

Shantimaa Welfare Foundation is dedicated to transforming the lives of underprivileged children by providing them with access to quality education. We believe that every child deserves a chance to pursue their dreams, regardless of their circumstances. We invite you all to join us in this noble cause—your support can help shape a brighter future for these young minds.

Medical Assistance

Shantimaa Welfare Foundation has taken the initiative to provide essential medical assistance to the underprivileged and needy. We understand the importance of vaccinations and healthcare, yet many in rural areas lack access to these critical services. That’s why we conduct medical camps and vaccination drives in remote regions, ensuring people receive the care they deserve.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenging time for everyone, especially for those in rural communities. We are committed to offering comprehensive medical support to those in need, but we can achieve even more with your support.

Join us in our mission to protect lives and create a healthier, safer society. Together, we can make a difference!

Disaster Management

When nature’s fury strikes, the most vulnerable communities bear the brunt of natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, and storms. Many lose their homes, crops, and livelihoods, leaving them devastated and struggling to rebuild their lives. These tragic events make it difficult for them to recover, often taking years to regain stability.

Shantimaa Welfare Foundation stands by those affected by natural disasters, providing immediate relief and long-term support. We help rebuild homes, restore livelihoods, and create safe, healthy living environments. Our efforts ensure that victims can rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

With your support, we can make a lasting impact—helping families rise above devastation and reclaim their future. Join us in bringing healing and hope to those in need!

Women Empowerment

Even in today’s world, many women still face challenges in accessing their rights, education, and independence. Countless women are held back by poverty and societal norms, preventing them from making their own choices and pursuing their dreams.

Shantimaa Welfare Foundation is committed to empowering women by providing education, skills training, and support to help them break free from social constraints and live with dignity. We believe that every woman deserves the freedom to learn, grow, and make her own decisions.

Your contribution can bring a ray of hope to these women, enabling them to build a brighter future. Let’s stand together and take a step toward uplifting and empowering women. Join us in this mission to create a stronger and more inclusive society!

Forestry Management

Shantimaa Welfare Foundation believes that a balanced ecosystem is vital for life on Earth. Every living and non-living component, from plants and microbes to humans, is interconnected, forming a complex web of life. Changes in the environment, even far away, can disrupt this delicate balance, impacting all forms of life.

With rapid population growth, pollution, deforestation, and environmental degradation threatening our planet, protecting our ecosystems is more critical than ever. Inspired by the global environmental movement ignited by Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring”, we are committed to preserving nature and ensuring a sustainable future.

Our forestry management initiatives focus on conservation, reforestation, and raising environmental awareness to safeguard natural habitats and promote ecological balance. Together, we can protect our environment, nurture biodiversity, and ensure a greener tomorrow.

Join Us in Our Mission—Let’s Heal Our Planet Together!

Food Management

Food is a basic necessity, yet millions go to bed hungry every day. While some of us enjoy plentiful meals, countless people struggle to eat even once a day. Starvation and malnutrition rob them of health, dignity, and hope.

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we believe no one should sleep hungry. We are committed to providing nutritious meals to the underprivileged, ensuring they experience the comfort of a full stomach. Through food distribution drives and community kitchens, we aim to bring hope, health, and happiness to those in need.

Join us in our mission to eliminate hunger and ensure every human being gets a healthy meal. Together, we can make a difference—one meal at a time!

Health & Family Welfare

The Health & Family Welfare Program at Shantimaa Welfare Foundation is dedicated to supporting families throughout the treatment and recovery journey. We understand that having a loved one in treatment can be challenging, often leading to confusion and uncertainty about the right decisions to support their recovery.

Our program focuses on educating families about the impact of addiction and how it affects everyone involved. We provide constructive solutions, coping strategies, and ongoing support to rebuild healthy family relationships. Through counseling and awareness sessions, families learn about effective communication, conflict resolution, and supportive dynamics to ensure lasting recovery and strong family bonds.

We believe in healing as a family—because together, we can overcome and create a healthier, happier future for everyone.

Agricultural

We work closely with farmers and rural communities to implement advanced crop science, modern farming practices, and innovative solutions that ensure food security and economic growth.

Our initiatives focus on enhancing productivity, conserving biodiversity, and creating sustainable livelihoods. By providing training, financial tools, and stewardship capacity, we empower farmers and rural families to lead self-sufficient and prosperous lives.

We believe in preserving farmland, protecting natural resources, and supporting rural communities through integrated development programs. Together, we aim to overcome socio-economic challenges, promote rural development, and build a brighter future for all.

Join Us in Our Mission to Transform Lives Through Sustainable Agriculture!

Animal Husbandry

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we are dedicated to protecting and caring for stray and abandoned animals—from dogs, cats, and cows to neglected birds like crows, kites, and vultures. Our mission is to extend compassion and support to all creatures, believing that animal welfare leads to human welfare.

Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s words—“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”—we aim to create a compassionate society where all living beings are valued and protected. We work tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, and provide medical care to animals in need, ensuring their well-being and dignity.

Join us in spreading kindness—because a compassionate society begins with respect for all living creatures.

Dairying & Fisheries

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we empower rural women to build self-sustainable businesses through fish farming and related activities. By promoting Joint Liability Groups (JLGs), women utilize village ponds and roadside water bodies for fish farming, earning livelihoods with minimal investment.

With small funds and natural feed, women can run small fish stalls, roadside restaurants, and local markets, creating economic independence and supporting their families. We believe in unlocking the potential of rural women to drive economic growth and food security in their communities.

Biotechnology

Shantimaa Welfare Foundation is a non-profit, research-based organization dedicated to understanding and integrating biological, social, and natural sciences to develop a coherent body of knowledge.

Our mission is to combat the degradation of natural resources and the social environment through integrated training, educational programs, and innovative solutions. We are recognized and supported by various states and districts across India for our commitment to creating sustainable and impactful change in society.

Old Age Home

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we deeply value the wisdom and experiences of our elders. Unfortunately, many elderly people today face neglect and loneliness, lacking the love, care, and medical support they deserve.

We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment with round-the-clock medical assistance for senior citizens. Our care home ensures a compassionate and supportive atmosphere, while also offering home-based care for those who prefer to stay in their own homes.

With a dedicated team of medical professionals and caregivers, we strive to make a difference in the lives of the elderly, ensuring they live with dignity, comfort, and respect.

Human Rights

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we believe that human rights are the cornerstone of a just and inclusive society. India’s diverse cultural fabric and historical context shape the nation’s approach to human rights, rooted deeply in its glorious past.

While the Indian Constitution guarantees fundamental rights like freedom of religion, speech, and movement, challenges remain. The caste system and social disparities have historically hindered equal access to these freedoms.

Our mission is to raise awareness, empower communities, and advocate for equal rights for all, regardless of caste, creed, or background. We work tirelessly to protect human rights, foster dignity, justice, and equality, and ensure every individual enjoys the freedoms promised by our Constitution.

Legal Awareness & Aid

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we believe that legal awareness and literacy are essential for true empowerment. Understanding legal rights and processes equips individuals to demand justice, accountability, and effective remedies at all levels.

Our mission is to simplify complex laws and create inclusive awareness materials tailored to different literacy levels. We conduct legal literacy workshops for communities, activists, and state functionaries, fostering a deep understanding of legal rights and practical applications.

Through empathy-driven legal education, we empower women, children, men, and youth across rural and urban India to navigate the legal system confidently and assert their rights.

Rural Development

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we are committed to transforming rural communities across India through poverty alleviation, livelihood development, and sustainable practices. Our mission is to build self-reliant communities by promoting equity, sustainability, and environmental protection.

We begin by identifying target areas, conducting baseline surveys, and educating communities about our goals and objectives. Our initiatives include skill development programs for farmers, poultry entrepreneurs, Self-Help Groups, and livestock keepers. We empower communities by promoting access to scientific innovations for food security, environmental sustainability, and improved quality of life.

Join us in creating lasting change and uplifting rural India with dignity and self-sufficiency.

Tribal Affairs

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we are dedicated to uplifting tribal communities categorized as Particularly Vulnerable Primitive Tribes (PVTGs) who face low literacy, poor health indicators, and stagnant populations. Many community members are skilled artisans, crafting bamboo baskets, pottery, and tools.

We work closely with these communities to preserve their heritage while promoting education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihoods. Our initiatives aim to overcome challenges like social isolation, substance abuse, and economic instability by fostering self-reliance, skill development, and holistic well-being.

Join us in creating a brighter future for tribal communities and honoring their unique cultural identity.

Urban Development

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we are committed to driving urban development in West Bengal, focusing on poverty alleviation, livelihood enhancement, and sustainable development. Our approach includes institution building, capacity development, and strategic networking to empower urban communities.

We identify targeted areas and beneficiaries through baseline surveys, then motivate and educate people about our mission and objectives. By collaborating with key stakeholders and advocates, we promote innovative solutions for food security, environmental sustainability, and quality of life improvements.

Our initiatives include urban skill development programs for entrepreneurs, self-help groups, and activity-based groups to foster self-reliance and economic growth. Join us in creating resilient and prosperous urban communities!

Water Resources

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we recognize freshwater scarcity as one of the biggest challenges of our time. With one-third of the world’s population already facing water shortages and India on track to become a water-stressed nation by 2025, urgent action is needed.

We are committed to conserving freshwater resources through awareness and research programs across urban and rural West Bengal. By promoting efficient water management practices and sustainable usage, we strive to preserve this vital resource for future generations. Join us in protecting water, protecting life!

Youth Affairs

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, our Youth Affairs Wing is dedicated to unleashing the potential of young people in sports, culture, performing arts, visual arts, skills, and leadership. We aim to foster all-round development and national integration by organizing youth-centric programs including State and National Youth Festivals, Rural Sports, Adventure Activities, Leadership Camps, National Integration Camps, and Trekking Expeditions in collaboration with NSS.

We believe youth are the pillars of society, and by nurturing their talents and skills, we shape a generation capable of driving positive change and serving the nation. Join us in empowering the youth of West Bengal to build a better tomorrow!

Drinking Water

At Shantimaa Welfare Foundation, we believe clean drinking water is a fundamental right that everyone deserves. Yet, 2.2 billion people globally lack access to safe and clean water—a reality we aim to change.

Access to safe water transforms lives—improving health, enabling education, boosting economies, and fostering stability. Families can thrive, children can study, and communities can prosper.

We are committed to creating sustainable water solutions by empowering local communities and working closely with district-level authorities to ensure long-term water management. Together, let’s build a future where clean water flows for everyone, forever!
