Ekjyot Charitable Foundation

You’ll find Ekjyot Charitable Foundation right in the middle of the Cloth Market on Court Road in Bathinda. Our building is number 11651. If you know the Cloth Market, you know how loud and busy it gets during the day. There are people everywhere, stacks of fabric being moved, and the constant sound of rickshaws. Being right there on Court Road means we are always in the thick of things. It’s a bit of a contrast, having a foundation office in such a commercial spot, but it works for us. The office itself is pretty basic. We have some old desks and chairs, and there’s always a layer of dust from the street no matter how much we clean. We don’t have any fancy brochures or a PR team. Most of what we do is just talking to people who come by while they’re out shopping or working in the market. It’s a very local atmosphere. The pincode is 151001. Some days are incredibly hectic with the market noise, but we’ve gotten used to it over time. We just sit here and do our bit. It’s not a corporate environment at all. It’s just a room in a busy market where some work gets done. We don't try to look important, we just try to be available for whoever walks in the door. It gets hot in the summer with all the shoppers, but the energy of the market keeps us going through the day.
