A Movement of Compassion, Culture, and Courage from the Heart of Varanasi
In the sacred city of Varanasi, where every sunrise carries centuries of spiritual wisdom, a quiet but powerful movement is unfolding—rooted in values, driven by compassion, and committed to real change. That movement is PUNYAM Foundation.
Guided by the principle “Service is the Highest Duty,” PUNYAM Foundation is more than just a non-governmental organization. It is a purpose-driven community working to uplift lives, restore dignity, and revive the moral and cultural soul of society.
Led by Vision, Inspired by Humanity
At the center of this movement is Neha Singh Ishawasya, a woman of vision, strength, and deep empathy. As the CEO of PUNYAM Foundation, she has created a space where service is not just a goal—but a way of life. Under her leadership, the foundation continues to reach vulnerable communities and inspire individuals to rise above circumstances with courage and purpose.
Core Focus Areas
1. Women Empowerment
PUNYAM believes that empowering women is the first step toward empowering the nation. Through skills training, awareness programs, and emotional support, the foundation helps women become confident, self-reliant, and respected members of their communities.
2. Child Welfare & Education
Every child deserves safety, love, and the opportunity to grow. PUNYAM supports underprivileged children through nutrition programs, educational support, and mental wellness care, helping them become the future they deserve to be.
3. Promotion of Sanatan Dharma Values
