ABOUT 

Ahimsa is the very sole of humanity, and for humanity Ahimsa welfare society came into existence. Founded by a group of committed change leaders, Ahimsa Welfare Society began as a grassroots movement to empower youth and children through values-based action. After getting formally registered in the year 2005-06, it is progressing towards its aim of "peaceful life for all". Ahimsa is continuously engaged in doing, learning, achieving, expanding and innovating for social development.

 

Our inspiration for social development comes from Gandhian teachings & principles. Mahatma Gandhi said that, "The development to be sought is human happiness combined with full mental and moral growth."

 

With young people and children at the heart of our mission, we believe that development initiatives must prioritize reaching the most vulnerable populations. This means going beyond simply delivering services and ensuring that programs are designed and implemented based on the specific needs and desires of the community. By decentralizing decision-making, fostering a sense of ownership over local resources, and actively encouraging community participation in local governance, we can empower communities to achieve sustainable development. In this process, young people have a powerful role to play as agents of change and active participants in shaping their own futures.

 

We are working on extensive awareness generation, education and youth mobilization activities to create demand from community for development. As community-demand results in development that is community owned, sustainable and replicable. Presently Ahimsa is established in Rajgarh and functioning in four Districts Rajgarh, Agar Malwa, Rewa and Mauganj of Madhya Pradesh.
