Deepalaya

Deepalaya started in 1979 with 7 founding members with the objective of educating not-so-privileged children. Over the years, our focus has expanded from providing education only to children to helping underprivileged women, youth and children become self-reliant through education and vocational training.

Deepalaya is the largest operational NGO that has established projects across Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Telangana.

We have been working for four decades and contributing to the crusade against illiteracy. “Every child deserves a chance is what Deepalaya strongly believes in and has been working towards it.

Over the years, Deepalaya has established several projects in the areas of Education (Formal/Non-Formal/Remedial), Women Empowerment (Reproductive Health, Self Help Groups, Livelihood, Microfinance), Institutional Care, Community Health, ECCD, Vocational Training, Environmental Sustainability and Differently Abled. These projects are operational across India.

Since inception, we have reached out to close to 2 crore beneficiaries through different services. Deepalaya has reached out to more than 3,71,556 children, given vocational training to 23,545 adults, and helped more than 1,616 Self Help Groups with 17,892 women who have established more than 8,431 micro-enterprises and many more.

Deepalaya’s growth, however, has not been a solitary one. The organisation takes the initiative to collaborate with the government and other agencies to make meaningful interventions in the policymaking process of the State.
