Our story

Built with communities, not for them

Sumitra Educational Evam Welfare Trust is a registered charitable trust established on 29th September 2011 with the vision of promoting social welfare, education, and community development. It was founded by dedicated social workers Mr. Rajesh Kumar Singh (Founder & Chairman), who recognised the urgent need to address social inequalities, illiteracy, unemployment, and exploitation prevailing in society.


The organization began with an initial contribution of INR 50,000, mobilised by the founder through community support, with the aim of creating a structured and legally recognised platform for social service. Today the Trust focuses on empowering weaker sections of society — women, marginalised communities, and economically disadvantaged groups — by providing education, training, guidance, and access to opportunity.


Governance rests with a Board of Trustees who oversee administrative and policy decisions. Membership is open across lifetime, general, and special categories, encouraging community participation and collective decision-making, with regular meetings, audits, and record-keeping to ensure transparency.

 Mission

To promote social, educational, and economic development through quality education, literacy campaigns, and skill development programs. The Trust is committed to empowering women, youth, and marginalized communities by providing equal opportunities, supporting self-employment, and encouraging sustainable livelihoods — while ensuring transparency, participation, and effective utilisation of resources.

  Vision

To create an inclusive, educated, and empowered society where every individual — especially from marginalized and disadvantaged communities — has equal access to quality education, sustainable livelihood opportunities, and social justice. The Trust envisions a future where women are empowered, youth are skilled and self-reliant, and communities actively participate in their own development, while promoting environmental sustainability, cultural awareness, and ethical values.
