With this humble beginning, today we are present in nine states: viz: Gujarat, Maharastra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Orissa, Jharkhand, Kerala, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh.

In India very specially we focus on the education of the girl child and women empowerement through Self Help Groups in remote areas of our country.
