Shakti

Shakti

 Being the compassionate Philanthropist that she is, Anandmurti Gurumaa actively spearheads a noble endeavour called Mission Shakti which is aimed at empowering girls and women and combating the heinous practice of female foeticide which is shamefully still rampant in India. Since its inception in 1999 under the aegis of Anandmurti Gurumaa, Shakti has been empowering under-privileged girls by giving them scholarships to complete their education up to 12th standard. 

These girls are the daughters of handicapped parents, divorcee mothers and widows, who are not able to afford their education. Wherever, needed, financial aid is extended to those who want to pursue higher education or a professional career. Further, through its vocational training institutes called Shakti Udaan in Kaithal, Gurgaon, Mumbai and Kanpur, Shakti has been offering learning opportunities to girls from deprived families so as to make them self-reliant and independent. So far, more than 20,000 underprivileged girls have been educated and empowered through Shakti.
