Later, on October 2, 1979, Seva Bharati was officially established as a voluntary organisation dedicated to the field of service. Acting as a bridge, Seva Bharati focuses on uplifting and aiding communities. The ultimate aim is to empower even those receiving help (beneficiaries) to become helpers themselves, fostering a society where every individual lives with dignity and self-respect.
