Registration Number-40821603961, BISWAJAY means To Conquer the World. We want to conquer the world with our kind heart and strong will power to serve the mankind. BISWAJAY FOUNDATION aims to bring sunshine into the lives of underserved sections of society that require intervention. Registered on 6th November, 2016 as a Public Charitable Trust, BISWAJAY FOUNDATION works to empower vulnerable childr
en, women and youths with their rights. Our theory of change is built on the following set of premises:-
• In order achieve a high level of social impact; every human must be enabled to reach key targets of social development: access to quality & affordable education, access to water & sanitisation facilities, improved agriculture facilities, access to quality & affordable health care, and creation of gainful employment through skill development.
• Government and Social Entrepreneurs leading high potential sustainable programmes in our society must in turn have access to funding, technology, mentorship. Our beliefs and approaches -
Sacrifice - We believe that every individual must 'give till it hurts', demonstrating the willingness to share one's fortunes with those less privileged. Deserve our needs - We believe that we need to earn our keep, rather than assume it is as a right. Adding value - We believe that we add value only when we do something that no one else is currently doing, or when we do it in a better way. Passion -Biswajay Foundation believes that working with a 'burning desire' to make a difference, is the greatest motivator to do something meaningful. First Principles Approach - Biswajay Foundation believes that we must do things because they make sense to do, and not simply because that is how everyone else does it. Blind faith is the enemy of all innovation. Focus on the poorest - All that Biswajay Foundation does is directed towards improving the lives of the poorest of the poor people. Transparency and accountability - As 'trustees' of tax payer resources, we believe in being proactively accountable and transparent in all that we do and to all our stakeholders. The need for a "giving culture"
Underlying everything Biswajay Foundation does is the belief that equality or "equal opportunity" is the cornerstone to civilization. Every human being must have roughly the same opportunity to succeed in life, irrespective of where or how s/he is born. We believe
that a caring and sensitive well-to-do section can change this without waiting for the situation to explode. Two aspects of a "giving culture" contribute to making a difference:-
• Greater sensitivity and caring
Giving promotes heightened sensitivity among the givers. It forces us to be aware of the existence of the poor, acknowledge our own good fortune and creates a sense of duty towards those less fortunate.
• Availability of resources
If Indians gave back to society in the same proportion as Americans do, we could be donating Rs 60,000 crores a year to help those in need! As against this, all reasonable estimates of giving in India vary between Rs 1,000-5,000 Cr p.a. Rs 60,000 Cr, a year almost exceeds the government's own allocation of resources to education and healthcare.
