Our Community Initiatives

Alongside our long-term educational projects, Alok Charitable Trust runs several initiatives that address the everyday needs of rural and underserved communities.

These initiatives focus on education support, women empowerment, health awareness, livelihood development and dignity for the elderly — ensuring that development is holistic and sustainable.

To reduce school dropout rates and create income opportunities, the Trust initiated skill-based training programs under the “Earn While You Learn” model.

Starting with small-scale chalk and candle making initiatives, the program has evolved to include vocational training in computer education at Gangagarh and Hilsa centres.

These programs help youth develop employable skills and build confidence towards financial independence.

In collaboration with student volunteers and community partners, the Trust has supported women empowerment initiatives that encourage skill-building and entrepreneurship.

Women have been trained in stitching, knitting, embroidery and handicrafts, enabling them to generate income and support their families.

Medical awareness programs and community health camps have also been organised to improve health outcomes in rural communities.

The Trust provides scholarships to deserving students who demonstrate talent and commitment to education.

Special support is extended to girl students to encourage continued education and reduce dropout rates.

These scholarships ensure that financial constraints do not prevent students from pursuing their dreams.

Many elderly individuals in rural areas lack financial security and family support.

Through the Adopt-a-Granny initiative, the Trust supports destitute senior citizens in villages around Gangagarh by helping meet their basic needs and ensuring they live with dignity and care.

Recognising the importance of agriculture in rural communities, the Trust facilitates training programs for farmers through agri-experts.

Support includes improved crop care techniques, dairy and animal husbandry training, and productivity enhancement programs.

These efforts help increase income and sustainability for farming families.

The Trust has implemented several health and hygiene awareness initiatives in collaboration with partner organisations.

Programs focus on sanitation, preventive healthcare, menstrual hygiene awareness and youth health education to improve overall community well-being.

With community support, the Trust established a Dharamshala that serves as a community centre and gathering space.

A library has also been set up for local residents, providing access to books and resources, including study materials for competitive exams.

This shared space strengthens community engagement and learning.

Each initiative is designed to complement our educational projects and address the broader needs of the community.

By combining education, livelihood, health and dignity-focused programs, we aim to create long-term and meaningful impact.

Your support helps us expand these initiatives and reach more communities in need.
