Who We Are

Lakshya Trust (Regd.) is a charitable organization based in Modinagar, Uttar Pradesh, India, founded with a deep sense of compassion and commitment towards improving the lives of the underprivileged and marginalized communities. Established in 2015, we have been working since 2012, under the guidance of a group of like-minded individuals, towards creating social awareness, empowering communities, and providing avenues for sustainable development.

Our primary focus is on education, healthcare, and social empowerment, aiming to create a more equitable society where every individual, irrespective of their background, has access to the resources they need to live a dignified life.

Our Journey

The journey of Lakshya Trust began in 2012 when a group of eight friends from Modinagar came together after a tragic incident during a local religious procession. This incident highlighted the severe lack of timely medical aid in emergencies, which sparked a strong desire within us to make a difference. Our first step was organizing a voluntary blood donation camp, which turned out to be a huge success. This initiative inspired us to broaden our scope and continue our work in the realm of social service.

In 2015, we took a significant step by officially registering the trust as Lakshya Trust (Regd.) with the objective of formalizing our efforts and creating a more organized approach to addressing social issues. Over time, our mission expanded to include a wide array of social service initiatives including blood donation drives, education for underprivileged children, eye and cadaver donation awareness, and adult literacy programs.

Our Mission

At Lakshya Trust, our mission is to empower marginalized communities by ensuring access to essential services such as quality education, skill training, and healthcare. We believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to lead a life of dignity and respect, and our mission is to break down the barriers that prevent underprivileged sections of society from reaching their full potential.

Through community-driven programs, we aim to create an ecosystem of support where every person can thrive, regardless of their economic or social background.

In late 2015, we recognized the need for educational support in slums around Modinagar. With the guidance of Ms. Nilu Rai, a dedicated educator, we launched Lakshya Paathshala, aiming to provide quality education and skill training to children who otherwise lack access.

Our Vision

We envision a just society where everyone, regardless of their caste, creed, or religion, has equal opportunities to grow, learn, and contribute. Our focus is on creating a sustainable cycle of empowerment through education and skill development, allowing individuals to rise above their circumstances and contribute meaningfully to society.

We see a future where communities are self-reliant, and where social parity prevails—where no one is left behind because of their social, economic, or educational disadvantages.

Our Values

At the heart of Lakshya Trust’s efforts are the core values that drive us:

• Compassion: We believe in extending a helping hand to those in need, with genuine care and empathy.
• Equality: We are committed to promoting equality, regardless of caste, religion, gender, or social status.
• Empowerment: Our aim is to empower the most vulnerable sections of society by giving them access to resources and opportunities.
• Integrity: We operate with honesty, transparency, and accountability in every project and initiative.
• Collaboration: We understand that social change is only possible through collective efforts, and we actively seek to collaborate with individuals, communities, and organizations that share our vision.

Our Approach

Lakshya Trust works on a three-step approach that we believe is crucial to achieving long-term and sustainable change in society:

1. Spreading Awareness:
   • We recognize that there are significant gaps in public awareness regarding many social issues. A lack of knowledge leads to insensitivity and ignorance, which further alienates the disadvantaged. Our first step is to fill this gap with information, education, and dialogue, addressing crucial topics such as social justice, health awareness, and environmental conservation.
   • By spreading awareness, we aim to change mindsets, reduce social stigmas, and encourage responsible actions within society.
2. Engaging Citizens:
   • Most people want to contribute to making the world a better place, but they often lack the knowledge of where to start or how to help. Our second approach focuses on engaging citizens who have the desire to help but are unsure of how to proceed.
   • We guide individuals to contribute through simple yet impactful actions, whether it’s teaching a child, organizing a blood donation drive, or helping the underprivileged in any way they can.
3. Understanding Social Complexity:
   • One of the primary barriers to societal progress is discrimination. Whether based on religion, caste, gender, or class, discrimination stunts the growth of individuals and communities.
   • We strive to help people understand the complexity of society, including the need to rise above divisive ideologies. Our aim is to empower people with knowledge, compassion, and understanding, breaking down the barriers that prevent individuals from living a life of dignity and respect.

Our Programs

Lakshya Paathshala

Our flagship initiative, Lakshya Paathshala, caters to children from underprivileged backgrounds, primarily those engaged in rag-picking. We focus on holistic education, offering not just basic literacy but also exposure to co-curricular activities such as computer classes, dance, martial arts, and gardening. Our goal is to prepare students for admission into regular public schools and to foster their employability through skill training.

Blood Donation Initiative

Since our inception, we have organized numerous blood donation camps, collaborating with local hospitals and organizations to address the critical shortage of blood in the region. We also maintain a 24/7 Blood Emergency Services Helpline to cater to urgent blood needs in Modinagar and surrounding areas.

Eye and Cadaver Donation Awareness

We actively promote organ donation, particularly eye donation, as well as cadaver donation for medical research. Our team works diligently to dispel myths surrounding these practices and raise awareness about their importance in saving lives and advancing medical education.

Adult Education

Understanding that families are crucial to a child’s education, we have initiated adult education programs for the parents of our students, teaching basic literacy and numeracy skills.

Our Future Plans

Looking ahead, we are committed to expanding our efforts in the following ways:

• Scaling Lakshya Paathshala: We aim to expand our educational programs to more underprivileged children in nearby towns and rural areas.
• Building Healthcare Support Systems: We plan to extend our healthcare initiatives to include mobile health clinics and greater access to essential medicines for rural communities.
• Advocacy and Policy Work: As our impact grows, we plan to engage with policymakers to advocate for the rights of the marginalized, focusing on education, healthcare, and social justice.
