About the Trust

Chandan Charitable Trust is a charitable trust established to support education, medical relief, relief of the poor and needy, community welfare and other public-benefit activities across India.

Its stated objectives include educational assistance, health and medical support, poverty relief, skill development, livelihood and employment support, women's empowerment, youth development, senior citizen welfare, support for persons with disabilities, environmental and civic initiatives, and guidance and facilitation relating to government schemes and assistance.

The Trust is a charitable body with the objectives above. It is not a government agency and does not sanction government benefits.

The Trust's stated area of operation is the whole of India.

To make help easier to find, and the path towards opportunity easier to understand: helping people discover relevant opportunities and official information, and presenting complex requirements in clear language.

A future in which a person's circumstances do not prevent them from discovering the opportunities available to them.

• Accessibility. Help people discover relevant opportunities and official information.
• Clarity. Present complex requirements and application processes in understandable language.
• Dignity. Treat people seeking information or assistance with respect.
• Responsibility. Distinguish verified information from uncertainty and direct citizens to the appropriate official authorities.
• Accountability. Publish claims carefully, and only after appropriate review.
• Long-term impact. Build a foundation for future charitable work within the Trust's stated objectives.

These are the purposes the Trust is permitted to pursue. A stated objective is not a claim that a matching programme is running today.

• A developing government-assistance guide that aims to organise scheme information, explain requirements in accessible language and point citizens to official sources.
• No scheme is published on this site yet. Each scheme will appear only after its details have been checked against official sources and approved.
• General guides, which appear in Resources only after human review.
• Optional accounts for saving schemes. Everything on the site can be used without one.
• Eligibility, approval, sanction and disbursement remain with the concerned government authority. The site does not guarantee eligibility or benefits.

Any future programme will be introduced separately, once its funding, eligibility rules, operating process and required approvals are in place.
