Who we are
Kartavya Shila Mahila Evam Bal Vikas Sansthan is a not-for-profit voluntary organisation dedicated to the welfare of women, children, and underserved communities. Registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, the Sansthan has spent more than two decades designing and delivering programmes that combine practical skill-building with social awareness, cultural life, and public health.
From tailoring rooms in Machhrehta to special schools in Barabanki, from Pulse Polio booths in Rajajipuram to folk festivals on village grounds, the work is local, practical, and sustained. The President, Shri R. K. Chaurasia, and the Secretary, Shri Mahendra Kumar Maurya, represent the Sansthan in the programmes recorded on this website.

Purpose
A just and self-reliant society in which women, children, and rural communities live with dignity, opportunity, cultural pride, and the capacity to shape their own futures.
To strengthen women, children, and underserved communities through education, vocational skill development, health and social awareness, cultural preservation, and participatory community programmes — delivered with integrity, local partnership, and a commitment to lasting livelihood.
Main objectives
Focus areas
Dignity through skill
Vocational training, leadership development, and educational awareness so that women and girls can earn, decide, and participate.
A classroom before a worksite
Special schools, vocational classrooms, and awareness programmes that treat learning as a right of every child and every woman.
Trades that travel home
Chikankari, tailoring, food processing, beauty work, retail marketing, and artisan registration — skills meant to be used.
Childhood without labour
Special schools, nutrition, sports, Pulse Polio booths, and public rallies against the employment of children.
Prevention in the neighbourhood
Pulse Polio, leprosy survey and referral, and tobacco-control programmes in schools and colleges.
Folk art as public life
Rajasthani folk festivals, theatre, Kathak, Independence Day programmes, and online training in music, dance, art, and Taekwondo.
A cleaner, greener habit
Earth Day plantation, water conservation, plastic-free campaigns, rallies, and environmental education with partner organisations.
Awareness as justice
Minority welfare seminars, humanism workshops, road safety, tobacco control, and community gatherings on rights and schemes.
Work where people live
Village grounds, school courtyards, mohalla booths, and block-level campaigns rather than distant, one-time events.

We treat skills, knowledge, and confidence as the foundation of independence, especially for women, adolescent girls, and children from disadvantaged homes.
Programmes are designed for rural and urban communities, minority groups, child labourers, artisans, and families who are too often left outside formal opportunity.
From special schools for child labourers to vocational classrooms and awareness seminars, learning remains the organisation’s most consistent instrument of change.
