Empowering Communities, Fostering Change
Ahimsa Welfare Society
Established in 2005-06, Ahimsa Welfare Society is a non-profit organization that operates in the Rajgarh district of Madhya Pradesh, with a focus on health and education, child rights, youth empowerment and natural resource management.
​​
Founded by a group of committed young volunteers, Ahimsa strives to ensure that every individual, especially the marginalized, can access their rights and live with dignity, purpose and opportunity.
Our Vision
A peaceful and just society where every individual lives with dignity, health, happiness, and equal opportunity.
Our Mission
To empower communities by promoting inclusion, equity, and sustainable development at the grassroots level.
Our Focus
Health & Nutrition
Ahimsa Welfare Society addresses health and nutrition challenges by promoting a rights-based, community-led approach focused on long-term well-being. Recognizing the shift from communicable to chronic diseases and the deep link between poverty and poor health, Ahimsa works to improve service delivery, empower local governance, and enhance community participation.
​
Our initiatives focus on maternal and child health, nutrition for vulnerable groups, and preventive practices like breastfeeding, immunization, and adolescent care, ensuring accessible, and sustainable healthcare at the grassroots.
Education & Child Rights
Ahimsa Welfare Society works to make sure every child gets quality education and grows up in a safe, supportive environment. We follow the Right to Education Act and the UN’s guidelines for children’s rights to stop abuse and protect vulnerable children. Our work includes helping schools become more child-friendly, spreading awareness about children’s rights, and supporting access to justice.
We also promote both formal and non-formal learning and follow Gandhiji’s idea of 'Nai Talim' (learning by doing) to help every child learn with dignity and confidence.
Youth & Community Development
Ahimsa Welfare Society empowers young people to become confident, active citizens by guiding them through self-exploration, leadership, and community involvement. We
work to improve rural livelihoods through skill-building, women’s entrepreneurship, and sustainable farming.
​
By partnering with local organizations and promoting grassroots participation, we aim to build stronger communities and create long-term opportunities for youth and vulnerable groups.
Natural Resource Management
Ahimsa Welfare Society works to protect the environment and promote sustainable living by encouraging communities to reconnect with nature and adopt eco-friendly practices. We focus on raising awareness, conserving water through watershed planning, promoting traditional climate solutions, and using clean energy.
By implementing initiatives like rainwater harvesting, waste management and sustainable development, we aim to build resilient communities that live in harmony with the planet.
