Nishkam Sewa Ashram Trust | About Us & Our Legacy Since 1975

A Legacy of Selfless Service, Compassion and Humanity Since 1975

Nishkam Sewa Ashram Trust is a charitable, not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving humanity through compassion, care, and selfless service. Guided by the true meaning of “Nishkam Sewa – Service Above Self,” the Trust is committed to improving the lives of senior citizens, orphaned and underprivileged children, women, economically disadvantaged patients, needy families, animals, and protecting the environment. Our mission is to extend support, dignity, and equal opportunities to those in need, ensuring that no individual is left behind.

The organization was established in 1975 through the dedicated efforts of Shri Sarwan Kumar Ji and several like-minded citizens of Ludhiana who shared a common vision of serving society. In 1983, Nishkam Sewa Ashram was formally registered as a Trust with the Registrar of Firms and Societies, Punjab and Chandigarh. The Trust is also registered under 12A, 80G, CSR-1, and FCRA, reflecting its commitment to operating within the applicable regulatory framework. Since its inception, Nishkam Sewa Ashram Trust has remained dedicated to the welfare of society, particularly focusing on neglected and isolated senior citizens, orphaned and abandoned children, underprivileged women, and patients who lack access to essential healthcare. Through its various charitable initiatives, the Trust provides shelter, education, medical assistance, vocational training, and essential support to individuals and families facing financial and social challenges. Special emphasis is placed on empowering women and children through education, skill development, and opportunities for financial independence.

Over the decades, Nishkam Sewa Ashram Trust has achieved significant milestones by establishing and successfully operating numerous welfare projects and community development programmes. These initiatives have positively impacted the lives of more than 100,000 underprivileged and needy individuals, providing hope, care, and opportunities for a better future.

At the heart of Nishkam's mission is the belief that humanity comes before all differences. The Trust serves individuals without discrimination based on caste, creed, religion, race, language, or region and maintains no political affiliation. Through its commitment to serving, empowering, educating, and sensitising communities, Nishkam strives to build a just, equitable, compassionate, and sustainable society where every individual can live with dignity, security, and opportunity. With a proud legacy of service since 1975, Nishkam Sewa Ashram Trust continues to carry forward its founding principles, transforming compassion into meaningful action and inspiring communities to contribute towards the welfare of humanity.
