Who we are and why we exist
About Our Organisation
Domkal Diganta Welfare Society is a grassroots non-profit organisation working in rural and semi-urban Maharashtra. Since 2015 we have been walking alongside marginalised families — providing children with education, women with livelihoods, and elderly members of the community with dignity and care.
What began as a small group of twelve friends distributing books and school bags has grown into a movement of more than eight hundred volunteers working across sixty-four villages. We believe lasting change happens when communities lead it themselves, and every programme we run is designed to put local leadership at its centre.

Founder’s Message
“We started this society because we could not accept that a child's future should be decided by the village they were born in. Ten years later, the same principle guides us: show up, listen, and build with the community — never for it. Every rupee you give goes straight into a child's school bag, a clinic visit, or a woman's first order. That is the whole promise. Thank you for holding us to it.”

Our Story
Domkal Diganta Welfare Society was founded in 2015 by a group of twelve friends who could not accept that a child's future should be decided by the village they were born in. We started by handing out school bags to forty children in Bhandara district. Today we work across sixty-four villages with more than eight hundred volunteers.
How We Work
We do not arrive with answers. We spend time in the community, listen, and build programmes together with local leaders so that they outlast us. Every project is measured, published and reviewed by the community itself.
