ABOUT US
From Begging Hands to Bright Tomorrows
In the sacred hills of Ambaji, where faith gathers in thousands, lived children who had nothing to call their own — not a book, not a bed, not even a dream. Shree Shakti Seva Kendra was created to change that.
We began with one vision: to replace begging bowls with school bags. Since 2011, 100+ children from the Bharathari and Adivasi communities have been given a new start — with safe hostel care, education, meals, and emotional support at Kanya Tirth Vidyalaya, Viramgam.
Back in Ambaji, their growth continues through our local programs — from sports and music to arts and daily prayers. Here, they learn not just to study, but to stand with pride.
Because at Shree Shakti Seva Kendra, we don’t just rescue — we rebuild.

About Our founder
Mrs. Usha Anil Agarwal
Mrs. Usha Agarwal embarked upon an incredible journey when she noticed the little praying hands begging for money on her visits to Ambaji. Fascinated, she began conversing with the children to uncover their lifestyles and aspirations.
To her surprise, the biggest dream of these small children was to experience the sheer joy of riding the UDAN KHATOLA, something they had only seen while begging on Gabbar Hills road.
In a compassionate act, she gathered all the little ones who were begging and promised to help them fulfill their long-held desire of riding the UDAN KHATOLA. This small step marked the beginning of a heartwarming journey, one that she had pledged to undertake and extend her hand to these children.
Shree Shakti Seva Kendra promotes the ideology that each child deserves the best chance for a bright future.
Helping Rehabilitate
For some, a home is not just bricks and walls — it’s a distant dream. We help families find not just shelter, but dignity and hope. Because everyone deserves a place to belong.
Eliminate Hunger
An empty plate is more painful than words can say. We serve warm meals that bring comfort and strength. No one should sleep with hunger in their heart.
Empowering Environment
Clean surroundings build clean habits and healthy lives. We guide families toward safer, more respectful living. Because change begins where care begins.
Imparting Education
A child with a book is a child with a future. We bring learning where it’s often lost in struggle. Because knowledge is the first step toward equality.
