Human Dignity & Self-Reliance

“Every human being deserves to live with dignity, regardless of their social or economic condition.”

At Ashok Chourasia Trust, we believe that social support should restore dignity, not dependency. Our mission is to uplift the most neglected individuals in society — the elderly, widows, the differently-abled, and marginalized women — by ensuring their inclusion, access to essential services, and emotional empowerment.

We focus on enabling people to reclaim their place in society with confidence and self-worth. Rather than one-time charity, our support builds long-term self-reliance and connection with government and community systems.

Areas of Work:

  • Assistance and Relief for the Vulnerable
    We provide basic aid such as ration, clothing, and emergency support to elderly persons, widows, and differently-abled individuals, especially during seasonal hardships or crises.

  • Linking with Government Welfare Schemes
    Our team helps eligible individuals access their rightful entitlements under government schemes and subsidies, often assisting with documentation and follow-ups.

  • Health Camps and Medical Aid
    Free health check-ups, medicine distribution, and mobile clinics are organized in underserved areas to provide accessible and preventive healthcare.

  • Legal Aid and Counseling
    Vulnerable individuals are often unaware of their rights. We provide access to legal aid, help them address domestic or property issues, and connect them with authorities when needed.

  • Women’s Health and Sanitation Program
    In many rural communities, women’s health is neglected due to cultural stigma and lack of education. We conduct awareness programs and workshops on menstrual hygiene, reproductive health, and personal sanitation.

    • Sanitary pads are distributed to adolescent girls and women

    • Health sessions cover nutrition, anemia, and hygiene

    • Taboos around menstruation are addressed through community dialogue and education

Government Schemes We Assist With:

  • Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (housing assistance)

  • Ayushman Bharat (free health insurance)

  • Widow and Disability Pension Schemes

  • Ujjwala Yojana (free LPG connections for women)

  • Public Distribution System (ration card and food security)

Impact:

  • Over 1,000 individuals successfully connected to various government services and welfare schemes

  • Noticeable improvement in the quality of life for senior citizens, widows, and differently-abled persons

  • Increased health awareness and adoption of hygiene practices among rural women

  • A growing sense of self-worth, dignity, and inclusion among previously neglected sections of society

At Ashok Chourasia Trust, we do not see dignity as a luxury. It is a right — a form of justice that every person deserves, regardless of their background. We are committed to creating a society where the most vulnerable are seen, heard, and respected.
