The Trust was conceptualized by a selfless group of social activists, reeling under the devastating impact of the forced exodus from our Matri Bhumi Kashmir during the violent aftermath of 1990, to provide moral, social & cultural succor to the beleaguered community. The Refugees were primarily trying to get a physical foothold for their families in the harsh climatic conditions outside Kashmir. Evidently in this depressing & challenging scenario, the socio-cultural identity of the community as well as the centuries old traditions, which otherwise sustained our unique identity as Kashmiri Hindu’s, was under a natural threat of being eroded and obliterated. As such the Trust was established to protect the socio-cultural & educational heritage of the displaced Kashmiri refugees.
The aim of the Trust is to provide a congenial platform to our community so as to propagate the cultural & religious values which is our proud inheritance from our forefathers. At the same time Sanjeevani Sharda Kendra also addresses to the educational inheritance and connects actively with the community children & youth, making them aware of our past glory, bringing within the ambit of their knowledge the sacrifices of Kashmiri icons in the past history, the advent of sages & spiritualists, the contribution of educationists and imbibing in them the concept of nationalism and last but not the least, making them feel proud Indians.
Kashmiri Pandits have been Shakti Upasaks and continue to hold Matri Shakti in reverence and in deference to our spiritual pursuits, the Kendra also has objective of empowering the community women.
Over the years SSK has rendered yeoman’s service to the displaced community by protecting & propagating the social & cultural ethos & values, providing medical related services, establishing a library, collating data of the community holocaust, reaching out to the youth in schools & colleges by encouraging them in co-curricular & extracurricular activities, exposing them to the concepts of moral & national values and empowering them by skill enhancement.
