Sarita-Mahesh Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation, registered in October 2023 under

the Indian Trust Act 1882, in the fond memories of Sarita and Mahesh, two young social

workers who were engaged in peaceful and constructive development work in Bihar but were

tragically gunned down on 24 January 2004 at Fatehpur in Gaya district, Bihar.

The Foundation is a family-based charity trust.

​

Building on the legacy of Sarita and Mahesh, the Foundation is committed to promoting the

well-being, welfare, and rights of underprivileged people. Presently, the Foundation works in

Bihar and Mumbai. The Foundation’s current activities have focused on working with youth

and children to raise their awareness about the self and the world around them, inculcate

values of gender parity, non-discrimination, non-violence, justice, care and cooperation, and

to promote creativity among them.
