Mission: Our mission is to safeguard the rights, offer care and protection, and empower underprivileged children, youth, and women through education, innovative community-based development projects, and market-focused livelihood programmes.

Providing Care and Protection to children: A joint initiative of Ministries of Women & Child Development and Railways This venture is for the care and protection of children who land at the railway station. We work in collaboration with the Indian Railway. They are kind enough to give us a booth on one of the platforms. We have 12 staff working on this project. This is a 24 x 7 service.
A large number of children who run away from their homes use railways as a mode to travel. There are also children who are trafficked and transported or lost through railways. The Ministry of Women and Child Development and the Ministry of Railways have jointly taken the initiative to ensure the care and protection, security, and well-being of run-away, unaccompanied, and trafficked children who come in contact with the railways.
