About Dharmadaana
Dharmadaana is a platform for all compassionate people to unite and serve.
Dharma Daana primarily focuses on remembrance of ancestors or people who have passed away by giving food supplies to the poor and needy. However, the Daana can be done on any special occasion be it someone's birthday or some festival or any other event and can be done in anyone’s name. These food supplies come as kits and one kit contains 5 kg rice, 2 kg lentils (Moong dal/HesarubeLe) and jaggery. Each kit costs Rs.1,000. Any number of kits can be offered.
We are primarily focused on service to society and all the food given to the poor and needy is nothing but service to God. Our organization's motto is to spread love and happiness.

I have been using Dharmadhaana's service for over a year now, and I can confidently say it has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. Their commitment to ensuring food supplies reaches those in need is truly inspiring. The best part is they provide pictures of the food donations, making the impact visible and tangible.
Anil and Abhay have been exceptionally helpful throughout the journey. Their dedication, kindness, and availability make the entire process smooth and trustworthy. Whenever I’ve had a question or needed assistance, they’ve always been there, ready to help.
Dharmadhaana is not just a service - it's a movement of compassion and generosity, and I am proud to be a part of it. Knowing that my contributions are directly helping those in need fills me with gratitude. I highly recommend Dharmadhaana to anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of those in need
