What Saraswati Educational Society does

Saraswati Educational Society (SES) is a Delhi-based non-governmental organization founded in 2000 that operates as a service-delivery NGO for marginalized communities across Delhi. From its registered office at 59-J, Extension Laxmi Nagar, Delhi-110092, SES runs a portfolio of programs spanning crisis intervention (Rape Crisis Cell with 26 advocates across POCSO, SFTC and Juvenile Justice Boards; Crisis Intervention Centre; Mobile Helpline 181 handling 500+ cases monthly), women empowerment (Mahila Panchayat with Delhi Commission for Women since 2001; SBIF Sashakti targeting 2,300 women across six East Delhi locations with SBI Foundation), HIV prevention (Targeted Intervention with DSACS serving ~2,000 individuals including MSM communities), substance abuse prevention (Community Based Peer-Led Intervention with Ministry of Social Justice and NISD), education (Teach India English Spoken Programme with Times of India and remedial education for ~65 students), environmental sustainability (Housing & Environmental Sustainability with HUDCO), and direct social welfare delivery (8 self-funded night shelters in East, West and South West Delhi; recreation centre for 30 elderly widows; family counselling; vocational training). SES employs 13 staff and engages 1,200 volunteers, and the website displays counters of 1,425 fundraising events, 1,200 volunteers, 201 donors and a 'Raised Funds' value of 200 (unit not stated).

SES operates on a donations-and-grants revenue model with no commercial pricing or fee-based services; funding flows from central and Delhi state government bodies (Delhi Commission for Women, DSACS, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, NISD, HUDCO, Ministry of Minority Affairs, MCD, Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board), corporate foundations and CSR (SBI Foundation, ONGC, Times of India, Give India, Basic Foundation) and individual donors via a Razorpay donation page. The organization does not maintain a proprietary technology platform or software product — its website is a standard informational presence and it uses no APIs, integrations, or AI capabilities. Beneficiary cohorts are entirely free-of-cost and consist of women and girls facing violence, children and adolescents at risk of substance abuse, homeless individuals, elderly widows, transgender individuals and high-risk MSM populations. The Annual Report 2023-2024 records cumulative reach of over 1.42 lakh (142,500) individuals across all initiatives, 26,500+ crisis cases handled, 2,000+ women educated on menstrual health, 720+ beneficiaries facilitated into social protection schemes and 400+ children impacted by substance abuse prevention.

SES's competitive position rests on its regulatory relationships with multiple government partners, its in-house bench of trained advocates and counsellors led by Director Amit Mishra (BSW, MSW), and 24+ years of operating history in Delhi. Leadership comprises President Amit Mishra, Vice President Aarti Kaushik (Msc, Environmentalist), Secretary Rajesh Kumar, Treasurer Ashok Chaturvedi (Mcom, Finance Officer), with a larger board and team of counsellors and social workers. There are no subsidiaries, parent entities, M&A activity, funding rounds, regulatory actions or restructuring events on record.
