A significant milestone in the Bee Like A Bee programme!

Ashraya Hastha Trust proudly launched the Beekeeping Handbook – Jenu Sakanike Kaipidi at Male Mahadeshwara Hills, Karnataka, on 15 July 2026.
Developed from three years of on-ground learning and field experience, the handbook serves as a practical guide for farmers, women Self-Help Group members, and aspiring beekeepers. It promotes scientific, sustainable, and climate-friendly beekeeping practices, helping strengthen livelihoods while conserving biodiversity.

The launch was graced by Parama Poojya Sri Sri Sri Dr.Shantha Mallikarjuna Swamiji of Saluru Bruhanmutt and Mrs. Asha Dinesh, Trustee, Ashraya Hastha Trust, in the presence of over 100 farmers, women beneficiaries, and community members.

A heartfelt highlight of the event was hearing beneficiaries share how the Bee Like A Bee programme has transformed their beekeeping journey over the past three years—enhancing their knowledge, building confidence, and creating sustainable income opportunities through honey production.

Mrs. Asha Dinesh also interacted with the beneficiaries, listening to their experiences and learning about the positive impact the programme has created in their lives. She expressed her happiness at witnessing the outcomes of the initiative and encouraged the beneficiaries to continue adopting scientific beekeeping practices while inspiring others in their communities.

The launch of Jenu Sakanike Kaipidi marks another important step towards empowering rural communities with knowledge, strengthening sustainable livelihoods, and conserving biodiversity. Together, we continue to create lasting impact.

Care extends beyond the clinic. It reaches every home, every family, and every step of the journey.

We believe that quality healthcare is not just about providing treatment—it's about ensuring families have the guidance, confidence, and support to continue that treatment successfully.

Through regular field visits, dedicated Program Executives help bridge the gap between healthcare services and the communities they serve, addressing challenges, answering questions, and ensuring no child is left behind on their path to recovery.

We are proud to support initiatives that put people at the heart of healthcare, making treatment more accessible, compassionate, and sustainable.

हर परिवार की एक अलग हकीकत होती है। कुछ के लिए, यह अस्पताल की दूरी है। दूसरों के लिए, यह काम की प्रतिबद्धताएँ, वित्तीय दबाव, या बस अज्ञात का डर है।

इसीलिए हमारा काम क्लिनिक में खत्म नहीं होता है।

नियमित फील्ड विज़िट के माध्यम से, हमारे प्रोग्राम एक्जीक्यूटिव परिवारों से वहीं मिलते हैं जहाँ वे हैं, उनकी चुनौतियों को समझते हैं, सवालों के जवाब देते हैं, और उन्हें विश्वास के साथ उपचार की यात्रा को आगे बढ़ाने में मदद करते हैं।

Ashraya Hastha Trust के सहयोग से, हम यह सुनिश्चित करना जारी रखते हैं कि हर परिवार को न केवल उपचार मिले, बल्कि अपने रास्ते पर बने रहने के लिए आवश्यक समर्थन भी मिले।

क्योंकि कभी-कभी, सबसे सार्थक देखभाल समझ से शुरू होती है।

When women are empowered with skills, they don't just build careers—they build solutions that transform communities.

We believe that meaningful skill development goes beyond employment. It creates innovators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers.

Through our partnership with Samaan Social Development Society, women trained as two-wheeler mechanics in Indore city, Madhya Pradesh, have achieved something remarkable. Identifying the transportation challenges faced by working women in their communities, they transformed a simple idea into an affordable electric bicycle designed to make mobility more accessible.

From assembling prototypes and refining designs with expert guidance to launching a women-led enterprise, these young mechanics have demonstrated the power of technical skills, determination, and innovation.

Today, their electric bicycles are creating opportunities for sustainable livelihoods while promoting affordable green mobility. More importantly, they are challenging stereotypes and proving that women can lead innovation in technical fields.

This inspiring journey reminds us that investing in women's skills is an investment in stronger communities, sustainable solutions, and inclusive development.

Congratulations to the incredible women mechanics and the team at Samaan Social Development Society for turning vision into impact. We are proud to support initiatives that empower women to create lasting change.

When learning meets music, children discover new ways to express themselves.

Inside the Music Bus, students explored sound, rhythm, storytelling, and performance while building confidence, creativity, and collaboration. From experimenting with microphones to singing together, every moment became an opportunity to learn and be heard.

At Manzil Mystics Foundation, we believe music can transform the way children engage with education, helping them grow as confident and expressive individuals.

A special thank you to Info Edge for supporting initiatives that make joyful and meaningful learning experiences possible for children.
