About us:

Udayan, which translates to "Eternal Sunrise" in Sanskrit, is a beacon of hope and transformation. Established as a Public Charitable Trust in 1994, Udayan Care has dedicated three decades to uplifting underserved communities across 38 cities in 15 Indian states. To date, we have directly impacted over 1,11,000 lives—and countless more indirectly—through programs that empower vulnerable children, women, and youth.

At the heart of our mission is the belief that family is the cornerstone of society. We provide mentorship, education, and aftercare for children without parental care while striving to reunite them with their families whenever possible. Our initiatives also focus on empowering girls, women, and youth through education, skill development, and financial independence, fostering stronger, self-reliant families.

This journey of impact is made possible by the unwavering support of donors, volunteers, and partners who share our vision. Udayan Care has earned recognition for its transparency and credibility, including accreditations from Give India and Credibility Alliance, and is registered on Niti Aayog's Darpan platform. In 2014, the President of India honored us with the National Award for Child Welfare.

About Program:

The Udayan Shalini Fellowship (USF) is a pioneering initiative designed to uplift deserving and talented girls from disadvantaged backgrounds, nurturing them into empowered, dignified women—Shalinis. Unlike traditional scholarships, USF goes beyond financial support for higher education and offers mentoring, leadership training, life skills and employability training and instills a deep sense of social responsibility.

Today, Shalinis are making strides in diverse fields such as engineering, medicine, chartered accountancy, teaching, nursing, and computer science, among others. With 36 chapters across 14 states, the program has transformed the lives of over 16,500 girls, enabling them to break barriers, achieve excellence, and contribute meaningfully to society. Through USF, these young women are rewriting their stories and shaping a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
