OUR WORK

The everyday things
no one should go without.

Service has long been part of life in the O.J. Agarwal family. In 2015 the Trust was formed to carry that responsibility forward in a more organised way.

सेवा हमारा संस्कार, धर्म हमारी पहचान और जिम्मेदारी हमारा कर्तव्य।

Service is our culture. Religion is our identity. Responsibility is our duty.

A STORY FROM LADAKH

Keeping school within reach.

These children belong to taxi-driver families in Ladakh who have lost their fathers in road accidents. Where livelihoods depend on a short tourist season, that loss can also put school expenses out of reach.

The Trust began supporting their education in April 2026 and bears the cost of their schooling up to class 10, so that a change in family circumstances does not have to bring a child's education to an end.

Dr. Ravi Agarwal, Smt. Amita Ravi Agarwal and Shri Kapil Taneja met the children and their families that month.

SURBHI GARBA · CHATTARPUR FARMS

सेवा ही धर्म

Navratri at Chattarpur Farms is Surbhi, a garba danced on the understanding that service is dharma. Every pass becomes a quiet act of giving, and what the nine nights raise goes to hospitals, relief funds, animal welfare and community kitchens.

The Trust is listed among Surbhi's community associates and takes part in the handovers.

CAUSES SUPPORTED THROUGH SURBHI

  • National Cancer Institute
  • Chief Minister's Relief Fund
  • Go-Seva, for cow welfare
