Arihantanam Foundation

Arihantanam Foundation is a nationally recognized NGO, incorporated under Section 8 of the Companies Act. We are registered under 12A and 80G, enabling our supporters to receive tax benefits ranging from 50% to 100%q `, while ensuring full transparency and accountability. Our mission is to create meaningful change across society through focused and practical initiatives. We are actively working in the field of education in backward areas, supporting primary and upper primary schools. We invite schools to share their unmet needs—especially those not covered under government support—and fulfill them through structured crowdfunding programs. We are committed to women empowerment by creating employment opportunities for women who wish to build sustainable livelihoods. Through activities like sewing, traditional food production, spices, and other skill-based work, we help women become self-reliant and financially independent. In the area of environment protection, we focus on recycling non-biodegradable waste. This not only helps reduce environmental impact but also generates employment opportunities. We also actively promote and support tree plantation initiatives to contribute towards a greener and healthier future. We stand for labour laws and human rights, guiding workers on general labour regulations, workplace safety, insurance, and other essential legal protections—ensuring dignity and security for every worker. Additionally, we serve communities by supporting access to social security schemes, including old age pension, widow pension, and other welfare benefits—helping individuals live with dignity and support. Arihantanam Foundation — Empowering Lives, Inspiring Change.

Arihantanam Foundation envisions a Rajasthan - and an India - where every child learns, every woman leads, every worker is protected, and every ecosystem flourishes. We see a future where children from Sumerpur, Barmer, and beyond grow up with access to quality education and boundless opportunity. We envision rural women transforming into confident entrepreneurs and community leaders who shape their own destinies. Our environmental vision pictures villages where native trees reclaim degraded land, water conservation is practiced as a cultural norm, and communities live in harmony with nature. We foresee a social safety net where no elderly person is abandoned and no differently-abled individual is excluded from public life. For the labour sector, we dream of workplaces where every informal worker knows their rights and is protected by law. Across all our working zones our ultimate vision is an equitable India where geography, gender, and economic background never determine a person's future.

The strategic objectives of Arihantanam Foundation are designed to drive measurable, community-owned change. Objective One: Ensure every out-of-school child in our operational areas is enrolled and supported with materials, mentoring, and remedial education within two years of program launch. Objective Two: Train 500 women annually in livelihood skills and connect them with market linkages, enabling them to earn sustainable independent incomes. Objective Three: Plant 10,000 trees annually and educate 200 households each year in water harvesting and eco-friendly practices. Objective Four: Facilitate access to social security entitlements for 1,000 underserved individuals per year. Objective Five: Conduct quarterly legal literacy workshops for informal workers in Pali, Barmer, and surrounding districts. Objective Six: Forge partnerships with government departments, corporate CSR bodies, and international development agencies to amplify our reach and resource base.

Arihantanam Foundation was formally incorporated on 17th February 2026 - a milestone that marks the beginning of a long journey of community service. In its foundational phase, the organization has already established robust institutional infrastructure: a valid CIN (U88900RJ2026NPL111694), PAN (ABECA9254E), TAN (JPRA19781G), and a dedicated bank account with Bank of Baroda (Account: 54360200001710, IFSC: BARB0SINDRI). The Foundation has a committed board of two founding members - Kailash Singh and Narendra Dudy - and is professionally witnessed by ACA Subhash Janardhanan Pillai. Our Memorandum of Association outlines comprehensive objectives spanning social welfare, healthcare, education, environmental action, and livelihood enhancement. We are now operational across Sumerpur and Barmer districts and are actively planning our first field programs in child education and women empowerment. As we grow, we remain committed to transparent reporting, community-led program design, and rigorous monitoring.
