Since 1976
Five decades beside Western Rajasthan's communities
Since 1976, Meera Sansthan has worked with women, girls, children, frontline workers, and rural families through practical field programmes.
Who We Are
A grassroots organisation shaped by field work
Meera Sansthan began in 1976 with relief work in drought-affected villages and grew into long-term programmes for women, children, and rural families. The work is practical and close to the ground: listen to people, build local groups, support access to services, and help communities act with confidence.

Stories of Change
Three short reads about getting back to school, finding support, and earning from a traditional craft.
A way back to school
When a girl has missed school, returning takes more than opening a classroom door. Learning support and a place to begin again matter.
