OUR STORY

A glimmer of hope ignited in the hearts of countless young individuals, thanks to a single idea that set in motion a transformative journey. It all began with a humble plea from Mr. PM Nair, the Special Director General of CRPF, urging Santhigiri Ashram to associate with CRPF in their rehabilitation program for the youth affected by Naxalism in Bihar. Little did they know that this endeavour would evolve into a grand vision that would forever change lives.

Amidst the desolate streets of a Naxal-affected village in Bihar, Basheer Alam, a young man hailing from a modest Muslim household, had never dared to dream of learning new skills and securing a sustainable livelihood. However, fate intervened when he was selected to join Santhigiri skill development training programme. Undergoing six months of intensive training in the vibrant city of New Delhi, his perspective on life underwent a remarkable transformation.

Upon completing their training, the first batch of young individuals found themselves placed in various Santhigiri Ayurveda hospitals across the country. This pivotal opportunity not only brought about a much-needed change and support for them but also for their families. The resounding success of this program and the profound impact it had on the lives of these young individuals became the driving force behind the establishment of the Santhigiri Skill Institute.

Inspired by the tremendous achievements and the indelible imprint left on the lives of these youngsters, Santhigiri Skill Institute came into existence, aiming to empower countless others with life-altering skills and opportunities.
