🌸 Abalruddhachi Annapurna 🌸

During the sacred period of Navratri, the various forms of the Goddess are worshipped. Inspired by this spirit of compassion and service, Annapurna for All Ages is a meaningful initiative dedicated to supporting underprivileged sections of society.

The core objective of this initiative is to ensure that no one—from young children to the elderly—has to go hungry. It aims to uplift the quality of life of needy women, destitute families, senior citizens, and orphaned children in both rural and urban areas.

Under this program, women are empowered through employment-oriented training and the development of traditional skills such as handicrafts, textile making, and basket weaving, enabling them to become self-sufficient. The initiative also provides food, livelihood opportunities, and pathways to self-reliance.

With a strong sense of social responsibility, the program undertakes various welfare activities including bicycle distribution to support education, healthcare assistance, and community service initiatives. Annapurna for All Ages is not merely a food donation effort; it represents a broader social vision rooted in humanity, empathy, and the belief that every individual deserves to live with dignity and respect.
