Our Story

Lok Kalyan Samiti was founded in the year 1952 by Late Sh. Kalyan Singh Gupta Ji. He was supported by various national leaders, friends and family to start this initiative five years after India’s partition, responding to the sufferings of lakhs of starving refugees in Delhi. On his initiative, 12 dedicated social workers came together and started work by contributing one rupee each (i.e. Rs.12/- in all) to mitigate the plight of the homeless refugees by way of arranging, mobilizing and providing free health check-ups, medicines etc. Since then, we have worked tirelessly for more than 7 decades for various social causes and welfare activities, which include healthcare, remedial education, and vocational training, thus earning the popular name of ‘Poor mans Eye Hospital’ amongst the locals for conducting free cataract surgeries and in addition made us one of the best charity organization in India due to the provision of comprehensive programs in health, education and vocational training.
