This is the flagship project of AkshayaShakti, a transformative program designed to empower needy women and the transgender community through comprehensive skill development. This initiative provides participants with sewing machines, suitable training facilities, detailed training materials, and expert trainers. These resources create a strong foundation for learning and growth. Our training centers are basic tailoring hubs, offering specialized soft toy making, jewellery, and embroidery courses. The skills and knowledge acquired through these programs enable women and transgender individuals to establish their own production units, fostering independence and economic growth.

Since its inception, AkshayaDhaaga has successfully established around 25 centers and trained over 4,000 women and transgender individuals. Our mission is ambitious yet attainable: we aim to skill 1 million women by 2030, helping them achieve financial independence and lead dignified lives, thereby becoming truly self reliant.

We understand that addressing hunger is fundamental to building a healthier and more equitable society. We are committed to making a meaningful impact by providing nutritious meals and essential rations to those in need.

In the Thane area, we provide 150 meals daily to the most impoverished individuals, ensuring they receive at least one nutritious meal daily, which is crucial for their health and well-being. Beyond daily meals, we extend our support by supplying regular rations to particularly vulnerable groups, including families living in extreme poverty, leprosy-affected families facing social stigma and economic hardships, visually-challenged families with additional challenges, elderly residents in old age homes, and the transgender community who frequently encounter discrimination and economic exclusion. This ensures that these groups have consistent access to basic food supplies.

Additionally, we provide 200 meals every Thursday to bystanders at Thane Civil Hospital, often family members and friends who accompany patients and may not have access to food during their stay.
Our vision extends beyond merely providing food. We aim to foster a community where no one goes to bed hungry. By addressing food insecurity and ensuring that the most vulnerable members of our society receive the nutrition they need, we contribute to their overall health and ability to thrive. AkshayaAahaar is a lifeline for many who struggle with hunger daily, taking crucial steps towards ending hunger and fostering a compassionate and supportive community.

As part of the AkshayaShakti health scheme, grants support hospitalization, treatment, eye care, and hearing aids for the economically weaker section. Initiatives include cultural programs for children with cancer, regular donations to cancer patients, and financial aid for underprivileged patients. Additionally, 150 residents of Bhim Nagar received vision treatment, cataract operations were sponsored for Taloja Old age home residents in March 2011, and a team visited the Hellen Keller Institute on July 25, 2011. Free eye camps were organized at Uchat Shikshan Sanstha School on October 11, 2013, along with frequent health checkup camps and treatments for the poor.

Education is the most powerful tool we have to make informed choices in our lives and to drive community change for a better tomorrow and a sustainable future. AkshayaVidya wholeheartedly supports this notion. Since its inception, we have provided around 100,000 notebooks annually to underprivileged children in Zilla Parishad Schools in the Palghar district. Additionally, AkshayaShakti offers educational grants to selected students for their higher education.

Our commitment to improving educational infrastructure includes building twenty toilets in Zilla Parishad Schools and refurbishing a school in Nallasopara, Maharashtra, with additional classrooms. Under the AkshayaVidya initiative, we run four comprehensive programs:
• SANKALP: Our Student Leadership Development Program, supported by Xceedibles, aims to nurture leadership skills in students.
• Astronomy & Space Science: Supported by The Sky Explorers, this program introduces students to the wonders of the universe.
• Career Counselling and Competitive Exam Preparation: With support from Phasor Education, we provide career counselling for parents and students and assist students in preparing for competitive exams.
• Teacher Training and Upskilling: Supported by QUEST – The Learning Hub, this program focuses on enhancing the skills and knowledge of teachers.
