Swasaksham Social Foundation

You can find us at VPO Satnaur in the Garhshankar tehsil of Hoshiarpur district. We are based at Guruir Kaur’s place. It is a village setting, so things move a bit slower out here than they do in the big cities. The air is a lot fresher, though. We spend our time in a small building that is part of the village community. There is a lot of green around us, and you can hear the birds and the occasional tractor passing by on the dirt road. Our setup is very basic. We have a few benches and a sturdy table where we keep our registers and documents. It is the kind of place where people just walk in without an appointment because everyone knows everyone else in Satnaur. We don't have a big staff or any high-tech equipment. It is mostly just us and a lot of manual work. Sometimes we have to deal with the dust from the fields, especially during harvest season. It is a practical, no-nonsense environment. We are right here in the heart of the village, which is exactly where we need to be. There is no corporate polish here, just plain walls and hard work. We are proud to be part of the local landscape in Hoshiarpur. We often sit outside under the tree when the weather is nice to discuss our plans for the week. It is just a simple way of living and working that suits us well.
