Healthcare
23,000+ medical camps. Millions of screenings. A future where "too far" is no longer an excuse for suffering.
Education
Every child deserves the right to dream. We bring books, stationery, and school access to those the system forgot.
Women's Empowerment
We don't just empower — we ignite. Skill training, self-reliance, protection. Because dignity is non-negotiable.
Livelihood
Hands that once asked for help now teach others. Vocational training, rural enterprise, income generation. Dignity begins here.
Rural Development
Not reached. Not ticked off a list. Transformed. Connected. Seen. Infrastructure, sanitation, drinking water — the basics of a life.

Founder, Backbenchers Foundation
Born in modest means, Bhanu chose to give back before he gave himself credit. He donates 100% of his book royalties to this foundation. Because he believes the backbenchers — those overlooked, those in the last row — deserve the front seat of life.
I came to give a day. I stayed for a year. These communities changed me more than I changed them.
