“ત્રણ વાનાં મુજને મળ્યાં: હૈયું, મસ્તક, હાથ.
બહુ દઈ દીધું, નાથ! જા, ચોથું નથી માગવું.”

“Three gifts have been granted to me: a heart, a head, and hands.
You have already given so much, Lord — I shall not ask for a fourth.”

Shri Umashankar Joshi

Sarjan’s initiatives span the entire journey

from the womb to higher education—empowering children, youth, women, and communities with skills, values, and opportunities for sustainable livelihoods.

For donors and volunteers, this means every rupee and hour invested multiplies impact, transforming not just individuals but entire families and generations.

These programs bridge the employability gap, ensuring graduates enter the workforce as both competent professionals and conscientious citizens.

Road Ahead

From training just 54 candidates in 2007 to empowering more than 1,000 individuals annually today, Sarjan Foundation has expanded its impact across education, livelihoods, health, and environment. Our programs support people at every stage of life — nurturing mothers, guiding children and youth, and enabling women to build self-reliant futures. Looking ahead, we aim to scale our models across Gujarat and beyond by strengthening training at MARG, RFSTC, BADRI, and SHAKTI, forging industry partnerships, and creating cooperative market linkages for women. Alongside, we deepen environmental stewardship through ProEnviron and holistic education at BADRI, driving sustainable change for generations.

Enhancing Skills

At Sarjan Foundation, we nurture each child’s unique talents in academics, arts, sports, and vocational skills. By grouping learners by level, not age, we foster joyful learning, confidence, and expression. Our focus is on preparing youth with futuristic skills in technology, innovation, and trades for sustainable livelihoods and dignity.

Touching More Lives

From our humble beginnings, Sarjan has grown into a movement that benefits thousands each year. Yet, we know the need is far greater. Our vision is to expand training centres across India, taking our successful models from Gujarat to the remotest parts of the country. By doing so, we aim to make learning accessible to all, ensuring that no child, youth, or woman is denied the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

Building Stronger Social Fabric

With rapid urbanisation and rising inequality, rural India risks being left behind. Sarjan Foundation works to strengthen the social fabric by training rural youth in entrepreneurship and technical skills, empowering them to create sustainable livelihoods in their villages. By enabling youth to generate opportunities for themselves and others, we aim to foster inclusive development that uplifts communities and bridges the rural–urban divide.
