Satya Foundation

Satya Foundation's VIKASANA programme focuses on inner change as a path to self-growth and inner peace. It encourages individuals to learn from everyday experiences, see goodness in life, and realize their true selves. This unique journey of self-development has no set starting point or destination. Satya Foundation offers activities like yoga, meditation, and more, guided by global wisdom. These immersive, nature-oriented programmes empower individuals to choose their own path to enrichment, with fees varying based on activities and resources. It's a transformative journey where individuals take what they need to find inner peace.

The Family Bonding programme, known as 'Bandhan,' by Satya Foundation, is dedicated to strengthening family ties in today's fast-paced world. Recognizing the importance of family, especially during weekends, when one seeks quality time with one's loved ones, 'Bandhan' offers a unique alternative to the usual routines. Instead of mall visits or dining out, this programme encourages families to engage in creative and enjoyable activities together. 'Bandhan' not only enhances family bonds but also provides opportunities to connect with other families, expanding social circles. Activities are nature-based, rooted in heritage, or simply pure fun, making them accessible and affordable for all. With a focus on productive family time, each event includes a meal, fostering unstructured moments for family members to relax and enjoy. It takes place against a rustic, natural backdrop, inviting everyone to be part of one big, happy family.

Satya Foundation's 'Samuday Samnayati' programme connects neighbours to create holistic communities. It fosters synergy and progress through shared activities. The Foundation serves as a catalyst, offering resources to help communities achieve and sustain their goals. Stakeholders include builders, associations, residents, corporations, schools, clubs, and government bodies. Its bottom-up approach starts with micro units and expands. While stakeholders benefit directly, the broader community also thrives. It uses meetings, sign-up drives, and a website to engage stakeholders. Initiatives encompass civic responsibility, environmental care, resource optimization, senior citizen support, community outreach, and harmonious living. The Foundation manages programmes until self-sustainability, with support from other organisations and cost-sharing. The website generates revenue. Currently, the model is implemented in various areas and is replicable elsewhere with support.

Satya Foundation's 'Samruddha Gram' programme aims to create a balance between rural and urban communities. 'Vriddhi – Progressive Development' collaborates with local authorities to provide basic amenities to rural areas. 'Shikshana - Quality Education' improves education in anganwadis and Government schools, offering infrastructure enhancements, scholarships, and skill development. 'Poshan – Good Health and Nutrition' addresses health needs through awareness and medical support. 'Vritti – Sustainable Livelihoods' provides vocational training and job opportunities. 'Swashakti – Women Empowerment' boosts women's self-esteem and financial independence. These initiatives, conducted with NGOs, welcome volunteers to make a positive impact in targeted villages, including Jakkur Village, Sampigehalli, Agrahara, and Madakosahalli.

Its 'Parisara Samrakshana' programme emphasizes the vital role of nature in people's lives and the responsibility to preserve it. 'Prakriti Sparsh – In touch with Nature' connects people with nature through various activities like bird watching, bee rearing, lake ecosystem tours, gardening, organic farming, and nature photography. 'Prakriti Paripalana – Nurturing Nature' focuses on conservation and preservation of natural resources such as lakes and trees. Currently, it collaborates on Jakkur Lake's preservation with the citizen group "JALA POSHAN - Nurturing the Jakkur Lake" and conducts tree planting and water conservation drives to increase green cover and improve the water table. It promotes eco-friendly living with rainwater harvesting, alternative energy sources, natural lifestyles, and green building initiatives. Collaborations with other organisations include creating Food Forests to restore soil, enhance biodiversity, and manage watersheds through afforestation.
