Surya Foundation is a social NGO established in 1992 by Padma Shri Jaiprakash Agarwal, Chairman, Surya Roshni Ltd., with a view to promoting greater sense of patriotism and national consciousness among our countrymen. In pursuance of this larger objective, the Foundation is working in the following areas:-
It's been a year since our group was formed. Surya Foundation has contributed a lot in making the group. We meet weekly and deposit our monthly savings. Which helps us to fulfill our needs. Before this group started, we had to take money from moneylenders at high interest rates for our household needs. Which was difficult for us to repay. After starting this group, we meet our small needs by giving money on low interest.
I am associated with Surya Foundation since 2017. I formed the Lakshmi Self-Help Group by gathering women from my neighbourhood. All the members deposit 25-25 rupees every week. Along with the bank account through the foundation, registration has also been done in the block. 10000 to the group after 2 years) R.F. Funds were also received.
I am on the post of Shivaay Self Help Group, it has been 15 months since my group was formed. Surya Foundation has a huge contribution in making our soup, who told us about its benefits. By following the advice of depositing our small savings, all the members of the group have benefited. Got a loan from the bank to start employment. I started making bags at my home.
I am a member of Ahilyabai Self Help Group. Surya Foundation has contributed a lot in the formation of my group. Brother of Surya Foundation told us about the benefits of the group and got the group formed. We hold meetings every month and deposit savings in it. Through this savings, we also help each other financially. We do not have to go out to take loans. After joining the group, I have opened my own clothes shop, my whole family is living very happily with the savings from the shop.
