Step One
You tell us what you can offer
Your name, a number we can reach you on, when you are free and what you can do. Nothing else is asked, because nothing else is needed yet.
Volunteer
Give time, not only money.
Shri Ganesh Thakur Socio Educational Research Foundation was established in 2007 in the memory of Educationist Shri Ganesh Thakur, and works across Delhi NCR and Bihar. Classes, health camps, water bodies, plantation drives — most of it needs people standing there, not only funds in an account.
Before you sign up
Five fields, and a person at the end of them.
This is a small foundation, not a portal. Here is exactly what happens between you filling the form and you turning up somewhere useful.
Step Two
It reaches the office, not an inbox
The form writes a volunteer record straight into the foundation's own workspace. Nobody has to re-type your details from an email, so nothing is lost between the two.
Step Three
Someone calls you
A person from the foundation talks it through with you — which programme fits, where it runs, and what a day there actually looks like. You decide after that call, not before it.
Two honest things, so nobody is disappointed
- We cannot promise a particular programme, a particular place or a particular date. It depends on what is running near you at the time you get in touch — and on what you are comfortable doing.
- If you are a student who needs a certificate for college, the internship route is the structured one. Apply there instead, and you will be assessed and certified at the end of it.
Volunteer sign-up
Tell us when you are free and what you can do.
Two required fields. The rest helps the office put you somewhere you will enjoy rather than somewhere convenient.

The work
11 programmes you could be part of.
These are the programmes the foundation runs. Volunteers are attached to one of them rather than to the office in general, so it helps to read them before the call.
Teaching the Underprivileged
Free classes so quality education reaches children who would otherwise go without.
#PadhoGharSe
Free online classes born in the pandemic — bridging education and technology so learning never stops.
Rewarding the Budding Talents
Scholarships and awards that recognise effort and keep students going.
English Speaking & Personality Development
All-round personality development and the confidence to face any challenge.
मिशन जल शक्ति
Rejuvenation of rivers, ponds, wells and other water bodies — because everything downstream depends on water.
Skill-Up Bihar
Skill-based training for the youth of Bihar to raise employability and open doors to dignified work.
स्वावलंबी ग्राम योजना
Adoption of villages for development in all aspects — towards villages that are self-sufficient.
Free Health Check-up Camps
Health camps and OPD support for families beyond the reach of care.
COVID-19 Initiatives
Relief work carried out through the pandemic for families who lost their footing.
Helping the Underprivileged
Food, clothing and essentials for households in immediate need.
Tree Plantation
Plantation drives that put the environment back into community hands.
Other ways
If time is short, money still travels.
Volunteering and giving are not a trade-off, and neither is expected of you twice. If the calendar is the problem rather than the will, these routes are open.
One-time gift
Give once, for whichever programme moves you. Your 80G receipt is generated as soon as the gift is recorded.
Sponsor a child
एक बच्चा गोद लें
₹9,000 a year covers one child's education, healthcare and protection. A three-year commitment is recommended so the child is not left mid-way.
CSR & institutional
Partner on education, water, skills and health programmes — with utilisation reporting your board can put on record.
