Regd. No. 323Who we are
A small team that treats strangers as family.
Shanti Jan Kalyan Sansthan (Regd.) is a Delhi charity led by its National President, Sunita Bhushan. Its main work is Shanti Dham Ashram, where elders who have been left alone receive a bed, food, clean clothes, medicines and the attention of people who know their names.
Around that daily care the team takes help outside the ashram: first aid and blankets for people on the street, an eye-test camp, study sessions and festivals with children, and gatherings that honour women from the community.
Why your support matters
For many elders who come to us, nothing can be taken for granted.
Many arrive with no family support — some from hospitals, some from the roadside. Food, a clean bed, medicines and someone to sit with them do not happen by themselves.
- Meals every dayBreakfast, lunch and dinner for every resident.
- Medicines & hospital visitsCheck-ups, prescriptions and someone to go with them.
- Clothes, bedding & blanketsClean clothes, and warmth through Delhi winters.
- Care & companionshipBathing, grooming, conversation, prayer and festivals.
The ashram runs on the kindness of donors. Your contribution keeps everyday care going, with dignity and compassion.
We do not publish a fixed cost per resident. Call us to hear what the ashram needs this month.
What we do
The work behind every act of care
Each area is marked to show whether it runs every day, is held from time to time, or is still a plan.

Awareness drive · Ongoing
Nasha Mukti Awareness
We run awareness programmes on staying free from addiction. Our early centre, a Nasha Mukti Kendra, closed around 2024, so we no longer offer counselling or treatment there.
Our JourneyOur journey
Where our work began
For roughly the first three years, the team worked out of a Nasha Mukti Kendra building where part of the ceiling had collapsed and facilities were very limited.
This video was recorded there. The work with elders carried on all the same — and that persistence is what the ashram is built on today.

Moments from our work
2 July 2024 · Shanti Dham Ashram
A free eye-test camp at the ashram
A visiting eye-care team held free eye tests at the ashram from 11 am to 4 pm. The camp banner also announced free cataract (motiyabind) operations for those found to need them; these are carried out by Dr Shroff’s Eye Hospital, Noida.
Medical & eye-care support
Delhi winters
Warm food and blankets on cold nights
When the temperature drops, the team goes out with hot food and blankets for people sleeping on the street, and brings those who need care back to the ashram.
