Our journey commenced in early 1990s, a period when India grappled with crippling unemployment and degenerative poverty. Amid the formidable challenges of a deepening global economic crises where every ounce of reprieve mattered, there came forward the altruist (Late) Shri Dwarka Prasad Agarwal who selflessly threw his weight behind to tame the prevailing misery in the country. With a visionary mission to enable continued service from the trying time then to the endless future thereafter, he founded Vedanta Foundation on September 15, 1992.

The foundation’s predominant objective has remained steadfast to date : Forging platforms and springboards to catapult those, who are marginalised by circumstances and compromised by inequality, to the level of self-reliance & dignified living. By focusing on employment generation, the thrust is to empower today’s needy and lay a foundation to address such under-privileged in future.
