Our Projects
SGN FOUNDATION (Sri Ganeshay Namah Foundation) is a registered non-governmental organization dedicated to the holistic development of society. The acronym SGN stands for “Sri Ganeshay Namah”, symbolizing an auspicious beginning and spiritual inspiration behind all our initiatives. Our mission is to reach and uplift the underserved sections of society, promoting dignity, equality, and self-reliance.
We work across multiple social sectors with the aim of creating a balanced and empowered society. Our major areas of focus include:
1. Apni Gaushala (Our Cow Shelter)
At SGN Foundation, we believe in the sacred and ecological importance of cows in Indian culture and rural life. Our initiative, “Apni Gaushala,” is dedicated to rescuing, sheltering, and caring for abandoned, injured, and elderly cows. The Gaushala provides a safe, hygienic, and loving environment where cows receive proper nutrition, medical care, and shelter. Beyond protection, we also promote the use of cow-based natural products like organic manure and bio-pesticides, supporting sustainable agriculture. “Apni Gaushala” is not just a shelter, it’s a mission to restore the respect and utility of cows in everyday life.
2. Old-Age Home
SGN Foundation runs a fully supported old-age home that offers senior citizens a space filled with care, dignity, and companionship. In today’s fast-paced world, many elderly people face loneliness, neglect, or lack of care. Our old-age home is designed to be a warm, family-like environment where residents receive nutritious food, medical care, clean living conditions, and emotional support. We also organize recreational activities, spiritual sessions, and health camps to ensure their physical and mental well-being. Our goal is to ensure that every elderly person lives their golden years with respect and joy.
3. Women Empowerment
Empowering women is one of the core pillars of our foundation. We conduct skill-building workshops, self-employment training, health awareness programs, and legal literacy sessions to help women become independent, confident, and self-sufficient. From tailoring and handicrafts to digital literacy and entrepreneurship training, we offer a variety of opportunities for women from rural and underprivileged backgrounds. SGN Foundation believes that when a woman is empowered, an entire family and community rise with her.
4. Education for Poor Community
Education is the foundation of a strong society. SGN Foundation runs free education programs for children from economically weaker sections, especially in rural and slum areas. We provide access to quality learning, books, stationery, uniforms, and a safe environment to grow intellectually. Our focus is not only on academic education but also on moral values, life skills, and personality development. We also support school dropouts and street children by enrolling them back into the formal education system, giving them a new chance at life.
5. Skill Development Programs
To tackle unemployment and underemployment, SGN Foundation offers skill development programs that help youth and adults acquire practical, job-oriented skills. These include courses in computer training, tailoring, electrical work, beauty and wellness, spoken English, and more. We work with industry experts to ensure our programs are aligned with market needs and help participants secure better employment opportunities or start their own ventures. Our aim is to create a generation that is not just educated but also employable and self-reliant.
6. Organic Farming Promotion
SGN Foundation is committed to promoting organic and sustainable farming practices among small and marginal farmers. Through workshops, demonstrations, and field visits, we educate farmers about the harmful effects of chemical-based farming and the long-term benefits of going organic. We assist them in adopting natural fertilizers, pest control methods, and traditional farming techniques that increase soil fertility and crop yield without harming the environment. We also support the marketing of organic produce, helping farmers get fair prices and encouraging healthy eating in the community.
7. Sports Activities for Kids
We believe that sports play a vital role in the holistic development of children. SGN Foundation organizes sports events, training camps, and tournaments for children from all backgrounds. These activities not only keep them physically fit but also instill values like discipline, teamwork, leadership, and perseverance. We provide access to sports gear, coaching, and nutrition support, especially for underprivileged children who lack such opportunities. Through sports, we aim to nurture talent, boost confidence, and promote a healthy lifestyle.
8. Yoga and Health Initiatives
Health and wellness are essential for a happy and productive life. SGN Foundation regularly conducts yoga camps, meditation sessions, free health check-up camps, and awareness drives to promote a healthy body and mind. We collaborate with health professionals and yoga experts to guide people in stress management, lifestyle improvement, and preventive healthcare. Special focus is given to rural areas where medical facilities are limited. By integrating yoga and health education into community life, we aim to build a more mindful, active, and health-conscious society.
