About Shrradha:

Some inspirations are interspersed in the way of living that there’s hardly any necessity to look out for a role model or an inspiration from outer world. Noble deeds become a way of living. Shrradha Trust is a shape given to such noble deeds that’s been followed through years together as a way of living by Dr. A.G. Nartana Karthikeyan. The visionary calls her parents to be her inspiration and gives credits to their humble parenting inculcating profound values from her early ages as the stepping stone in founding Shrradha Charitable Trust.

Shrradha believes that it is certainly not someone’s fault to be born as poor, physically or mentally challenged, as a transgender or anyone who is being discriminated for something that is not at their will. It believes that everyone deserves a fair chance and that is when it took shape in being the stepping stone for the under privileged to cross the bridge of discrimination and be at par with others. Shrradha Trust now functions as stepping stone for the underprivileged to taste success and lead a dignified life.

Vision:

A society of equals with self-sustained and dignified lifestyle irrespective of caste, creed and religion. In all its endeavours in empowering the society, Shrradha envisions a sustainable environmental development to go hand in hand.
