President’s Message
Dear Friends,
Our hearts overflow with pride and gratitude as we reflect upon the remarkable journey of Shubham Charitable & Welfare Association.
What began in 1998 as a small yet powerful vision has today grown into a nationwide movement rooted deeply in compassion, dignity, and transformation.
At the very heart of our mission lies the empowerment of rural women, the upliftment of every child, and the preservation of our environment and water resources.
We firmly believe that true development begins at the grassroots—
where a mother gains the confidence to earn with dignity,
where a child learns to dream beyond limitations,
and where every drop of water is treated as sacred.
From the hills of Meghalaya to the far-reaching landscapes of India, Shubham has worked tirelessly to bring light where there was darkness—
through skill development, sustainable livelihood initiatives, menstrual health awareness, value-based education, eco-friendly solutions, and access to safe water and sanitation.
Each project we undertake is not merely a program but a promise—a promise to build a just, equitable, and green future for generations to come.
This journey would not have been possible without you—our supporters, partners, and on-ground warriors.
Your faith, dedication, and compassion breathe life into every initiative of Shubham.
Together, we are not only changing lives—we are shaping a movement of empowered women, nurtured children, and environmentally conscious communities.
As we move forward, let us dream even bigger.
Let us ensure that no woman is left behind, no child is silenced by poverty, and no river runs dry because of our neglect.
With unity, vision, and heartfelt service, we will continue to rise—not for ourselves, but for the better world we wish to leave behind.
With deep gratitude and unwavering commitment,
Pushpa Bajaj
