Guru Arjun Samajik Pratisthan - Ghar Ghar Langar Sewa

Guru Arjun Samajik Pratisthan is a non-profit organization committed to uplifting underserved communities by focusing on education, healthcare, hunger relief, and rural development. Our mission is to create sustainable solutions that empower individuals and transform lives, particularly in rural and economically disadvantaged areas. Our Key Initiatives:

Education for All: We work to prevent school dropouts, especially among girls, by providing school kits containing essential supplies such as bags, notebooks, and stationery. In 2024, we distributed 1,500 kits across 30 schools, and in 2025, we aim to support 2,100 students. Additionally, we improve rural school infrastructure, ensuring safer and more conducive learning environments.

Healthcare Access: We are planning for, the Guru Arjun Samajik Pratisthan Multi-Specialty Charitable Hospital, which will provide affordable medical care to underserved communities. Through various health camps and medical aid initiatives, we strive to make healthcare accessible to all, regardless of financial status.

Ghar Ghar Langar Sewa (Hunger Relief): Our daily evening Food initiative ensures that nutritious meals reach those in need, particularly the homeless, daily wage workers, and disadvantaged families. This initiative follows the spirit of Langar—providing food with dignity and compassion. Rural School Infrastructure Improvement: Many schools in rural areas lack proper ceilings, making learning conditions harsh, especially during the monsoons.

Our initiative aims to repair classroom ceilings and install protective coverings for toilets, ensuring safer and more hygienic conditions for students.

Engaging University of Cincinnati (UC) students is a wonderful way to create meaningful impact—both for our organization and for the students themselves. By getting involved with Guru Arjun Samajik Pratisthan, UC students can apply their skills to real-world challenges, gain valuable hands-on experience, and contribute to causes that truly make a difference. Here are some of the ways UC students can be a part of our mission: 1. Volunteer and Internship Opportunities Students looking for hands-on experience in community outreach, event planning, or project management can find meaningful roles within our initiatives. Whether it’s helping distribute food packets, school kits, assisting with medical aid projects, or improving infrastructure in rural schools, there are plenty of ways to contribute. For students in Engineering, Management or Social Work, this is a great opportunity to put classroom knowledge into action—helping create lasting change for the undeserved communities. 2. Service-Learning and Research Projects We welcome collaborations with UC professors and departments to provide service-learning opportunities for students. Researching issues like food insecurity, education access, gender equality, or rural healthcare can help develop innovative solutions that benefit communities in need. For instance, Civil Engineering students could work on solutions to repair leaking school ceilings, while Biomedical Engineering students might explore ways to enhance healthcare facilities in rural areas. 3. Fundraising and Awareness Campaigns Students passionate about advocacy and social impact can organize fundraisers, charity runs, or awareness events—both in Cincinnati and online. From bake sales to social media campaigns, every effort helps us expand our reach and impact. 4. Skills-Based Volunteering Students with skills in graphic design, web development, marketing, or content creation can play a vital role in growing our organization’s reach. Whether it’s designing promotional materials, enhancing our website, or managing digital fundraising campaigns, their talents can make a real difference. 5. Global Engagement and Virtual Volunteering For students who want to engage internationally, there are plenty of remote volunteering opportunities available. From online advocacy to helping us build platforms for fundraising and awareness, UC students can contribute to global impact—no matter where they are. Why Get Involved?
