Manjari Foundation

🙏🏼नारी शक्ति को मंजरी का प्रणाम🙏🏼 As we stand on the eve of Manjari Foundation’s 11th Foundation Day, we look back at a decade that bears witness to the courage and commitment of women’s power. Over these 10 years, rural women—through their unwavering determination—have not only challenged societal mindsets but have also scripted a new chapter in empowerment. Manjari Foundation salutes the soaring spirit of rural women and dedicates this video to their strength, resilience, and unbreakable will. #ManjariFoundation #ADecadeOfChange

In a heartfelt collaboration with the Dholpur Police, @manjari_org organized a workshop dedicated to Gender Sensitization and the Prevention of Sexual Harassment at the Workplace (POSH). Under the leadership of Shri Vikas Sangwan (SP, Dholpur), the atmosphere at the Dholpur Police Line was one of deep reflection and commitment. Our very own gender expert, Dr. Rakesh, led a session that went beyond legalities, it was about fostering a culture of empathy and dignity. We are grateful to the Dholpur Police for their cooperation. When institutions and organizations join hands, we don't just change policies; we change lives. @69_rakeshsingh #ManjariFoundation #GenderEquality #SafeWorkplaces #GenderSensitization

Across the sun-drenched plains of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, a partnership of purpose has ignited a fire of courage in 120+ small villages. Here, Manjari and DS Group are sowing seeds of agency within the hearts of more than 540 rural entrepreneurs. ​Through the Entrepreneurship Development Program, the mundane is made magnificent. This film is the vessel for that journey, a tale of a new beginning woven from the threads of communal toil♀️🚜 @Harikan05574023 #ManjariFoundation #DSGroup #entrepreneurshipdevelopment #CommunityEmpowerment

In many villages, water has shaped daily life. But change begins when this everyday reality becomes a shared conversation. On World Water Day, Jal Mela created a space for communities to engage directly with their own water realities, understanding not just the challenges, but how solutions take shape over time. By bringing different aspects of water management into one place — the village’s water situation, solutions in action, and pathways for support, the mela made the journey from problem to progress visible and actionable. Through such spaces, communities are shaping their way of #WaterWeBudgeting, where water is not just managed day-to-day, but planned and secured for the future, making it a conversation owned by everyone. Jal Mela reflects a larger shift, where managing water is no longer individual, but collective. @JanPedo @cmfraj @PRADAN_India @sevamandir @fesforcommons @manjari_org

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when a woman realizes her hands can do more than just toil, they can create, lead, and transform. Today, we aren't just opening the doors to a new store; we are opening a gateway for hundreds of rural artisans to step into the heart of the city. We are thrilled to announce the inauguration of the newest @KatoriFoods outlet at Ambience Mall, Gurugram. ♀️🥣 For the women of our micro-enterprises, Katori is not just a label on a product. It is the first time many of them have seen their hard work recognized by name. Every product on these shelves carries the whispers of rural heartlands, the strength of a collective, and the spirit of a woman who has found her voice. This milestone was made possible through the unwavering support of Jhajjar Power Limited, whose commitment to social responsibility through 'Udyogini' has been a cornerstone of this journey. The store was inaugurated in the kind presence of Mr. Rajeev Rao (General Manager HR and Admin), Mr. Manbar Bhandari (Deputy Manager CSR) and Mr. Raj Ratna Jha (Civil Consultant CSR) Visit Katori at Ambience Mall to celebrate the spirit of rural India. #ManjariFoundation #SocialImpact #WomenEmpowerment

The math isn't "mathing"✍️📓 18% of global population. 4% of global freshwater. We have officially moved past the "academic concept" phase. Water budgeting is now a national necessity. The logic is simple: Just as you wouldn't spend money without checking your bank balance, we can no longer use water without a budget. We are shifting from "Saving Water" to "Water Precision". #WorldWaterDay #waterbudgeting

Union budget. Travel budget. Corporate budget. Wedding budget. Festival budget. Fitness budget. Entertainment budget. We plan everything. Except the one thing that we think we can’t run out of. Water budget? #WaterWeBudgeting

Who says the celebration stops on March 8th?✨️ Spending time with the incredible women of Tikamgarh reminded us that joy, strength, and laughter don't follow a calendar. From racing across the fields to sharing endless smiles, these are the moments that stay with us. #GiveToGain #WomensDay2026 #ManjariFoundation #candidmoments

We at @manjari_org are incredibly proud to share the impact of the Integrated Development Project in Dholpur, Rajasthan, a collaborative initiative in association with SBI Card. We recently hosted two landmark events dedicated to "Women’s Entrepreneurship, Self-Reliance, and Holistic Rural Development." The energy was electric as over 800 women from various villages gathered to celebrate their journey toward independence. We were honored to have Shri. Avinash Agrawal, (EVP & Chief People Officer, SBI Card) and IAS Nivrutti Avhad Somnath, CEO of Zila Parishad, join us to witness this transformation firsthand. The event kicked off with sports like Kabaddi, Tug-of-War, and Matka races. These weren't just games; they were a powerful display of collective strength and rising self-confidence. Our didis performed soul-stirring folk dances and a 'Nukkad Natak' to spread awareness about women’s rights and social change. 🤝We inaugurated a new Saheli Packaging Unit. This facility, supported by SBI Card, is a massive step toward making local women-led enterprises sustainable and market-ready. 🤝Inauguration of a Mobile Community Library and a Waste Management Vehicle. 🤝Installation of an Outdoor Community Gym to promote health and wellness. @SBICard_Connect @RajGovOfficial #WomenEmpowerment #RuralDevelopment #SocialImpact #SBICard #ManjariFoundation #Entrepreneurship #AtmanirbharBharat

Empowering Progress with the Power of the Sun!🌞 Manjari Foundation is thrilled to share a major milestone for our Saheli Pashu Aahar unit! By installing an on-site solar power plant, we have officially transitioned to a reliable, eco-friendly energy source, breaking free from the challenges of erratic grid electricity with the support from Capri Foundation. This shift to "Pure Solar" is already delivering incredible results: ☀️Proven Production: We successfully completed a full production run of 2.6 tonnes of cattle feed using 100% solar energy. ☀️Reliable Delivery: This high-quality feed has already been delivered to our Baran location, proving that green energy ensures on-time service. ☀️Increased Profits: By eliminating electricity costs and reducing production overhead, the unit is now more financially sustainable than ever. Beyond the numbers, this is about People and Planet. The stability of solar power means our dedicated women team members can now work full-time, leading to higher incomes and long-term job security. By reducing our carbon footprint, we are proudly contributing to the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Efficiency, empowerment, and environment, all powered by the sun! @CapriGlobalCap #SolarPower #WomenEmpowerment #SustainableFarming #SaheliPashuAahar #GreenEnergy #SDGs #RuralInnovation

No poses. No scripts. Just the beautiful, unfiltered joy of women reclaiming their right to play, to lead, and to smile! This Women’s Day, our didis didn't just wish each other; they danced, they played, and they reclaimed their space. From the competitive spirit on the sports field to the quiet confidence on the stage, these candid moments capture the essence of what we strive for every day: the freedom to simply be. #ManjariFoundation #WomensDay2026 #FreedomToPlay #CandidMoments #EmpowermentInMotion

Empowerment is more than financial chains undone. It is the absolute liberty to laugh wildly, applaud fiercely, and play freely under the open sun! This #InternationalWomensDay, we aren’t just celebrating a date, we are celebrating a revolution of joy.💪♀️ In the heart of rural🛖🌾 India, where the days are often defined by tireless labor and quiet resilience, we saw something magical happen. We saw the strength that usually carries water pots and tills fields transform into the strength of a shared laugh. We saw hands that build homes come together in applause for one another.🫂🤗 This video isn't just a record of an event, it’s a glimpse into the soul of our mission. It’s the glimpse of didis playing like children again, the pride in a dadi amma's eyes, and the glaring smile of our young women as they hold the mic, and the unfiltered happiness that radiates when a woman feels truly seen and celebrated. For many of these women, "empowerment" isn't a complex word, it's a feeling. It’s the feeling of, Belonging, Validation and Freedom. Today, we wish for every woman to find her "village", a space where her laughter is loud, her achievements are celebrated, and her spirit is free. Happy International Women’s Day from all of us. Let’s continue to turn the soil of our society until every woman, in every corner of India, has a reason to smile this brightly. #ManjariFoundation #happywomensday #womensupportingwomen #WomensDay2026

In the quiet corners of rural India, women are no longer defined by their circumstances; they are reclaiming their identities as formidable micro-entrepreneurs. ♀️💼 ​These women don’t just manufacture products; 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. Each batch carries the purity of their soil and the tenacity of their ambition. ​Mr. Aroon Purie (Chairman, TV Today Network & Founder, India Today Group) visited our women's stall at the Livelihood Enhancement Project, (an initiative supported by Care Today) celebrating the spirit of Women's Day. ​This was not just a visit, it was a deep dive into the craftsmanship of the women entrepreneurs we support. By taking the time to understand the meticulous processes behind the products, Mr. Purie reinforced a vital truth: 𝗥𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲.𝗜𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲. ​Beyond his appreciation, he became a patron by purchasing @KatoriFoods Millet Cookies and Turmeric powder. ​For a woman leading a micro-enterprise in a remote village, this is more than a sale. It is a powerful reminder that her dedication can reach the highest tables. @aroonpurie @Care_Today_Fund @IndiaToday @aajtak ​#SocialImpact #WomenEmpowerment #RuralEntrepreneurship #ManjariFoundation
