The Origin Story
The seeds of Taarini Trust India were sown by Sanjana Chauhan, a passionate student at Amity International School, who refused to believe that age was a barrier to impact. Sanjana’s journey into social innovation began with a profound realization: many children and artisans in India struggle—not due to a lack of potential, but due to a lack of systems designed to uplift them.
She noticed that while national schemes existed, the last-mile delivery was broken. Thus was born the vision of Taarini—which means “the one who helps others cross over”—to provide a structured platform that builds capacity, clarity, and change for those often left behind.
Today, under her leadership, Taarini Trust India stands as a beacon of youth-driven impact, creating scalable solutions for India’s most complex grassroots challenges.
