Where Legacy Becomes Service

Empowering lives with dignity, compassion & responsibility

Our Story

A Legacy of Valor

Major Shaitan Singh Bhati (1 December 1924 – 18 November 1962) was an Indian Army officer and a recipient of the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military decoration.

Born into a distinguished military family in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, he carried forward a legacy of service and honor. As the commander of 'C' Company, 13 Kumaon Regiment, he displayed unyielding courage during the Sino-Indian War of 1962.

His leadership was not just about giving orders, but about standing shoulder to shoulder with his men in the face of impossible odds.

About Us

Our Trust was founded with a simple yet powerful belief that empowerment is the most sustainable form of change.

What began as a vision close to our hearts has grown into a commitment to uplift communities through education, skill development and compassionate outreach. We work with children, youth and women to create pathways towards self-reliance, dignity and opportunity.

We believe that real impact comes from enabling individuals to grow with confidence and purpose, rather than temporary support alone. Alongside our focus on learning and livelihood, we extend care to vulnerable communities and living beings, guided by the values of compassion, service and responsibility.

Each initiative we undertake is rooted in respect for people, for effort and for the future we hope to build one where kindness meets action and potential finds direction.
