Our Story
Ardas Samaj Kalyan (ASK) was founded on the principles of compassion and service, with the goal of addressing deep-rooted social inequalities. Our journey started in Dehradun, driven by a desire to provide meaningful opportunities to those left behind by society—prisoners seeking a second chance, women striving for financial independence, and youth in need of guidance.
From a small initiative, we have grown into a registered NGO, expanding our programs and partnerships to create a wider, more lasting impact. We believe in grassroots action and work directly with communities to build trust and deliver effective, sustainable solutions.
To empower marginalized individuals through skill development, education, and support, fostering a self-reliant and equitable society.
We envision a world where every person has the opportunity to achieve their full potential and live a life of dignity and purpose.
To rehabilitate prisoners, support women's SHGs, guide at-risk youth, and build strong community partnerships for sustainable social change.
