About us

Ordinary people. One purpose.

A public trust in Mumbai, working in the tribal talukas of Palghar since 2019.

How Nitya Saarthi began

At Nitya Saarthi Foundation, we have always believed that real service begins when we stop looking at people as beneficiaries and start seeing them as teachers.

Every child we meet, every village we work in, and every challenge we encounter reminds us that purpose is found in presence, not in recognition.

Our work across tribal and underprivileged communities has taught us that change does not arrive loudly. It comes quietly through classrooms repaired before the monsoon, water sources built closer to homes, and children discovering confidence they didn’t know they had. These moments may never make headlines, but they are where transformation truly lives.

It is every man’s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.

Who we are

Nitya Saarthi Foundation is a collective driven by purpose, compassion, and quiet resilience. We work alongside tribal, deprived, and often ignored communities, guided by a deep respect for their culture, strength, and inherent potential. We do not see charity as help from above. We see it as partnership, walking shoulder to shoulder with communities as they build their own futures.

Our approach

Our work is holistic and rooted in reality. From education and infrastructure to mentorship and long-term capacity building, every initiative is designed to create sustainable change, not short-term relief. Rather than working at the surface, we engage at a granular level, addressing real needs through sustained presence and thoughtful execution.

What we do

  • Delivering high-quality education
  • Transforming schools and villages
  • Executing infrastructure projects that improve livelihoods
  • Creating pathways for a brighter, self-sustained future for tribal communities

Our collaborative roots. Nitya Saarthi Foundation works closely with Apasarjanam Foundation, whose guidance and collaboration strengthen our vision and execution. Apasarjanam partners with Zila Parishad schools across Konkan and Palghar through digital classrooms, train-the-trainer programmes and English coaching, and provides direct mentorship and strategic guidance.
