01 / About the Foundation

Rooted in people.
Open to possibility.

Brihaspati Welfare Foundation is a registered non-profit organization under the Indian Trust Act, 1882, committed to creating inclusive, sustainable and community-driven development across India. The Foundation works with unwavering dedication in the fields of art, culture, education, livelihood and health — ensuring holistic growth for all sections of society, especially the underserved.

Our Mission

To preserve India's rich cultural heritage by empowering artists with recognition and platforms, making education and skill-building accessible to women and youth, ensuring sustainable livelihood opportunities, and delivering essential healthcare services to every doorstep.

Our Vision

An inclusive, empowered and culturally vibrant India — where every individual, regardless of background, has equal access to education, livelihood opportunities, quality healthcare and cultural identity. We envision a society where traditional knowledge is preserved, women and youth are self-reliant, and communities thrive with dignity and purpose.

02 / What we do

Bridging citizens
and their entitlements.

The Government of India runs numerous welfare schemes for social, educational and economic development — yet many benefits fail to reach those who need them most, due to lack of awareness, access barriers or limited on-ground support.

Brihaspati Welfare Foundation works directly with communities to spread awareness, build trust and connect citizens with the schemes they are eligible for — coordinating with local administration, volunteers and stakeholders so the right information reaches the right people at the right time.

01

Community Outreach

Awareness camps, door-to-door outreach, seminars in schools and colleges, and community engagement drives — with trained volunteers offering personalized guidance and documentation support.

02

Digital Awareness & Assistance

Verified information from government portals, step-by-step guidance on identifying and applying for schemes, and support until beneficiaries can claim their entitlements independently, with confidence and dignity.

03 / How we work

Five steps
to every doorstep.

01

Community Identification

Identifying individuals and communities eligible for welfare support.

02

Scheme Mapping

Matching every citizen with the schemes relevant to their needs — health, education, employment or financial support.

03

Eligibility & Documentation

Assessing eligibility and helping families prepare the required paperwork.

04

Application Facilitation

Guiding applicants through forms, portals and submission.

05

Tracking & Follow-up

Following every application through to its outcome.

04 / Our team

People behind
the promise.

Brihaspati Welfare Foundation's dedicated team comprises social workers, educators, development professionals, corporate experts, consultants and communication specialists. With a shared vision of social transformation, we combine varied expertise to address grassroots challenges and uplift communities — designing and implementing impactful programmes across education, health, livelihood and social welfare.
