Dholpur, Rajasthan – Established in 2015 in the heart of Dholpur, Rajasthan, Manjari Foundation has emerged as a transformative force in the field of women’s empowerment. With a vision to uplift rural women and enable them to lead independent and dignified lives, the foundation has successfully brought together over 200,000 women from various villages, fostering a movement of self-reliance and collective progress.
A Year-Round Commitment to Women’s Empowerment
While International Women’s Day is globally celebrated in March, Manjari Foundation goes beyond a single-day event. The organization dedicates the entire month to a series of initiatives aimed at highlighting the achievements and potential of women in rural India. Through sports, cultural programs, and interactive workshops, the foundation engages thousands of women, providing them with a platform to showcase their talents, share their stories, and inspire one another.
Expanding Footprint Across States
What started in Rajasthan has now expanded its reach to Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Haryana. Manjari Foundation continues to grow, bringing empowerment opportunities to more women across different states. The foundation’s commitment to grassroots engagement ensures that its impact remains strong and far-reaching.
A Strong Workforce and Institutional Recognition

Notably, Manjari Foundation is among the select few organizations registered with the Social Stock Exchange, highlighting its credibility and commitment to social impact.
Community-Led Change
At the core of Manjari Foundation’s success is its commitment to community-led development. Women who once faced economic and social challenges are now leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers in their own right. The foundation organizes self-help groups, skill development programs, and financial literacy workshops, ensuring that women gain the knowledge and confidence to pursue their aspirations.
A Celebration of Strength and Solidarity
The month-long celebrations in March serve as a powerful reminder of the need for gender equality. Manjari Foundation hosts various events across different districts in multiple states, ensuring strong local and rural women’s participation. By actively involving the local community, the foundation spreads awareness and encourages a shift in societal perceptions toward women. The collective participation of women in sports competitions, cultural performances, and leadership training reinforces their role as active contributors to society.
The Road Ahead
Manjari Foundation continues to expand its impact, working toward greater economic opportunities, better healthcare access, and stronger leadership roles for women in Rajasthan and beyond. The organization remains steadfast in its belief that true empowerment begins when women are given the tools, knowledge, and support to shape their own futures.
With every step forward, Manjari Foundation is not just celebrating women—it is reshaping communities, breaking barriers, and building a future where every woman stands empowered.
