A dream to do something for the underprivileged people of Pakyong lay dormant in the minds of the founders of Ashirwad for quite a while. This vision did not take shape for a long time, because of the magnitude of the challenge and a lack of funds.
The spark was provided when the founders decided to send a letter to the then President of India – His Excellency, The Honorable Dr. Abdul Kalam, it was a pleasant surprise when the President showed his willingness to meet the ‘would be’ founders. This provided the impetus to forge ahead and start Ashirwad. With the blessings of the President, Ashirwad dug its roots. Despite all the hurdles Ashirwad has faced, it has slowly but surely moved ahead.
Though Ashirwad is still not funded by any private donor or the Government(it is still not recognized by the govt.), it still continues to work for the betterment of the society.
