In a world overwhelmed with division and need, some hearts choose the path of service. One such glowing example is Karuna The Compassion, a youth-driven NGO inspired by love, learning, and the timeless virtue of Seva (selfless service).

Founded in 2009 in memory of Late Shri Shiv Kumar Singh — a beloved teacher and author — Karuna has since become a force for change across Delhi-NCR, serving the underprivileged through education, empowerment, and empathy.

🌱 Foundation & Background

The roots of Karuna trace back to a single classroom in Mukundpur, North West Delhi, where just 50 children were taught for free by a group of passionate youth. Their mission? To make sure no child is denied the right to learn, and no woman is left behind on the path of progress.

The organization takes its name from a sacred Sanskrit verse: “कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं...” — symbolizing the divine embodiment of compassion. True to this spirit, Karuna has continued to grow, fueled by nothing but dedication, purpose, and the dream of a just society.

💔 Challenges & Struggles

Running an NGO without institutional backing was no easy feat. Financial limitations, lack of infrastructure, and skepticism from society were constant companions. But Karuna's team, driven by the ideals of their mentor, believed in walking the hard road.

With minimal resources but unwavering faith, these young changemakers taught, organized health camps, trained women in vocational skills, and proved that even the smallest effort, when done with love, can light up lives.

🌟 Growth & Milestones

What began with a blackboard and a handful of students has now become a vibrant community movement:

• ✅ Multiple education centers across Delhi-NCR
• ✅ Free Spoken English & Skill Training programs for youth
• ✅ Thousands of active youth volunteers committed to upliftment
• ✅ Expanded work into women empowerment, environmental efforts, and senior citizen support

Each of these milestones is a testament to what youth power, guided by compassion, can truly achieve.

🏠 Current Work & Impact

Today, Karuna's reach spans across communities and causes:

📚 Education for marginalized children
