(03) — Bharosa Foundation
Bharosa Foundation
(Mission)
India is a land of incongruities — enormous opportunity alongside enormous need. Bharosa came into existence in 2015 to bridge that gap, connecting compassionate individuals and families who need them most.
The tagline is the whole philosophy: Let's help each other. A community of like-minded people who trust each other — working in education, healthcare, livelihood, sports and capacity building.
Today the foundation runs seven flagship programs, has carried relief into sixteen remote villages, and works towards a self-reliant Uttarakhand where no one has to leave the hills to survive.

(Operation Bharosa — 2021)
Operation Bharosa
When the second wave of Covid-19 cut off the remote villages of the Yamkeshwar area, Bharosa volunteers trekked in — ration kits, sanitizers, masks and oxygen concentrators, carried on foot where roads end.
Sixteen villages. No roads. No excuses.

Kushti, Hockey & The Khel Mahakumbh
The third Vishal Kushti Dangal — 15 June 2021, Bansuli village near Paukhal — with national wrestling coach Anasuya Prasad (Deepak) Bahukhandi. Cash prizes for the players, and the promise of a sports academy with a mat hall, an akhada and a hostel for Yamkeshwar's youth.
Since then: six-a-side hockey, athletics, cricket and volleyball — a full Khel Mahakumbh keeping young people in the game, and in the hills.
In 2024 the tradition grew bigger still — chief patron of the Uttarakhand Kesari Dangal at Thalnadi: Uttarakhand Kesari titles for men and women, wrestlers from Delhi to Maharashtra, and traditional pagdi honours for gurus and ex-servicemen.
