We all are actively working for society since 2011 with support of our team. In 2018 we decided to form NGO recognized as 'Youngistan Foundation' having tagline ‘Voice of Young Hindustan'.

Our team vision includes serving society by Blood donation camp, Swacchta Abhiyaan, Education & Awareness, Wall painting for Cleanliness awareness, Share the Warmth, Door to Door campaign for Waste Management, Distribution of Food and Cloths. We donate 100+ Blood units every 3 month to contribute for reducing blood scarcity at the blood banks.We initially started with "SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAAN" carried out various campaigns in Kalyan.

We go to the slum basti and distribute free sanitary pads to the underprivileged women and girls. Along with making women feel special about them, i also believe in educating them about the necessity of using sanitary pads. We also started literacy campaign under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign. We are also working on Education and Skill Development for the children as every child need to be educated for right development and brighter future. I am also an animal lover, I rescue and takes care of abandoned pets, especially stray animals that are found to be victims of accidents or have been thrown away in a very shameful manner. I encourage everyone to be an animal lover.
