Bright Future
Deepalaya started in 1979 with 7 founding members with the
objective of educating the underprivileged children.
Vision
A society based on legitimate rights, equity, justice, honesty, social sensitivity and a culture of service in which all are self-reliant.
Deepalaya’s focus and sole reason for existence is the child, especially the girl child, street child and disabled child. The family of the child is the medium through which the development takes place. Organisation and sensitisation of the community is the approach through which empowerment, capacity building and social transformation are attempted.Mission
We at Deepalaya commit ourselves –
To identify and work along with the economically and socially deprived, the physically and mentally challenged – starting with children, so that they become educated, skilled and aware.
Enable them to be self-reliant and enjoy a healthy, dignified and sustainable quality of life And to that end, act as a resource to and collaborate with other agencies – governmental or non-governmental, as well as suitably intervene in policy formulation.
Enabling Self-Reliance Since 1979
Deepalaya started in 1979 with 7 founding members with the objective of educating not-so-privileged children. Over the years, our focus has expanded from providing education only to children to helping underprivileged women, youth and children become self-reliant through education and vocational training.
Deepalaya is the largest operational NGO that has established projects across Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Rajasthan and Telangana.

In my opinion, Deepalaya is an immensely professional and compassionate
organization that is doing invaluable work for children who may be less fortunate
than many others around them. The organization utilizes donations expressly for
the designated purpose/cause. My interaction with the child sponsorship
department has been exceptionally wonderful at all times; the feedback, follow-up,
and information provided have been meticulous, loving and passionate. I will
recommend this organization to anyone who is interested in helping children in
need.
