Samavesh enables grassroots communities to overcome poverty, navigate public systems, and build inclusive, sustainable futures through access to welfare, education, and opportunity.

Rooted in lived experience and led by community changemakers, Samavesh began with a single encounter in 2011 that revealed the cost of exclusion: a girl named Roshni was forced to leave school simply because she had begun menstruating. That moment sparked a journey that grew into a movement—one that now works across rural blocks, urban communities, and public institutions to close the gap between rights promised and rights realized.

Samavesh is not just an organisation—it is a grassroots movement for inclusion, justice, and opportunity. We work with marginalized communities to dismantle systemic barriers to welfare, education, and livelihoods.

Our work is driven by four flagship interventions: Samavesh Kendra, which enables access to social security, legal identity, and public schemes; the After-School Program, which supports first-generation learners with foundational learning and life skills; Samavesh Scholars, which mentors youth from marginalised backgrounds to access and succeed in higher education;

Anchored in community leadership and powered by digital tools, Samavesh is building sustainable pathways for upward mobility—moving individuals and families from the margins to the mainstream.
