    Founder of Diya Ghar, a registered NGO | Empowering Children of Migrant Laborers | Making a Difference through Education, Compassion and Holistic development.

    I was moved to tears when I heard Srinivas's story. At the tender age of 5, he shouldered the responsibility of caring for his bedridden, alcoholic father, with his older siblings attending a Government school and his hardworking mother providing for the family. During our community visit in 2022, our teachers met Srinivas's mother and persuaded her to enroll him in Diya Ghar (Akshay Nagar Centre). This decision not only offered him a safe learning environment but also paved the way for remarkable growth. Srinivas successfully graduated last year and is now attending an Affordable Private School, surpassing his mother's aspirations. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our supporters who have played a pivotal role in transforming the lives of children like Srinivas. Your unwavering support and generosity have made a profound impact, shaping a brighter future for these deserving individuals. 🙏 #ecce #migrantchildren #everychildmatters #bangalorengos #earlychildhoodeducation

    This week with our Employee Resource Group "Women@Planview" was amazing! We highlighted resilience and the importance of giving back by supporting education for Bangalore's migrant children through the Diya Ghar Art Sale featuring their beautiful artwork. The panel discussion "The Power of Grit," moderated by Shalini Sankarshana and joined by Saraswathi Ramachandra and Saraswathi Padmanabhan delved into balancing empathy with data-driven decisions in tech leadership. A big thank you to our speakers and the engaged audience for making this week unforgettable. #WomenAtPlanview #LeadershipResilience #WomenInTech #LifeAtPlanview

  • At Diya Ghar, we believe that good hygiene starts early! Every day, our little ones learn the importance of washing their hands with soap and water—before meals, after playtime, and whenever needed. Through our Montessori approach, this simple yet essential practice becomes second nature, helping prevent the spread of germs and keeping them healthy. By making handwashing a routine, we’re not just teaching hygiene, we are instilling a sense of responsibility and independence in self-care. These small habits today will shape a healthier tomorrow! Join us in building a future where every child grows up healthy and strong! #HealthyHabits #HygieneFirst #MontessoriLearning #DiyaGhar

Your love, guidance, and encouragement have paved the way for these children to dream bigger and reach higher.

    "#ThankGodItsMonday! Meet Faraj, a shining example of resilience and transformation. In 2024, this bright-eyed 3-year-old and his family moved to Bangalore’s blue tent community at Monekollal 1, struggling to make ends meet. With his father a BBMP driver, and his mother, a maid, couldn’t always afford nutritious food. Then Diya Ghar stepped in. After receiving daily healthy meals at Diya Ghar, he became more energetic, growing to 95 cm in height and 14.85 kg in weight. This is what breaking the cycle of poverty looks like. Your support makes these stories possible. Let’s keep empowering children like Faraj to dream, learn, and succeed! #DiyaGhar #ChildSuccessStory #EducationMatters #MondayMotivation"
