Amar Jyoti Charitable Trust - India

What Amar Jyoti Charitable Trust - India does

Amar Jyoti Charitable Trust is an Indian non-profit organisation founded in 1981 by Dr. Uma Tuli in New Delhi, operating two campuses — Delhi (established 1981, Karkardooma, Vikas Marg) and Gwalior (established 1989, Manpur, Madhya Pradesh) — with roughly 91 employees. The trust pioneered an inclusive education model that educates children with and without disabilities together in equal numbers from nursery through class VIII under CBSE and NIOS curricula, serving 500+ children in Delhi and 300+ in Gwalior.

Its product platform integrates multiple accredited offerings: a B.Sc. Honours Physiotherapy degree via the Amar Jyoti Institute of Physiotherapy (University of Delhi-affiliated, 30 students per batch), the Global Teacher Training Centre for Special Education (RCI-recognised), an IGNOU Special Study Centre (0734 D), and NIOS-accredited vocational courses in beauty culture, cutting/tailoring, and data entry operations. Medical and therapeutic units deliver physiotherapy (treating 11,000+ patients annually), occupational therapy, speech therapy, prosthetics and orthotics, early intervention, and a child guidance clinic, supported by 26 volunteer medical specialists and assistive infrastructure such as JAWS screen-reading software, adapted keyboards, tactile paths, and loop induction systems. Community-based rehabilitation extends the trust's footprint into 30 urban slums of Delhi and 20 villages in Gwalior, with periodic Lifeline Express camps serving 7,000+ patients per camp.

The revenue model is donation- and grant-driven rather than fee-based. Primary funding comes from individual and corporate donations (eligible for 80G tax deduction), international contributions through FCRA-compliant State Bank of India accounts routed in part via the Indian American Education Foundation 501(C)(3) for US donors, and direct grants from the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (Delhi campus) and the Ministry of Human Resource Development (Gwalior campus). The trust is PMKVY-affiliated as a skill-training partner and operates on a community-led go-to-market model focused on direct service delivery rather than commercial customer acquisition.
