Leveraging Global Best Practises
About Us
Saraswati Seva Foundation is an independent charitable foundation. We aim to reduce inequalities in London by educating the children, enabling the youth, empowering the micro-entrepreneurs and integrating the refugees and displaced communities into the mainstream. SSF partners with other development agencies and institutions, and promotes grass-root change leadership in the remote regions. Our effort is to work towards building technology-driven and scalable solutions for specific social needs that are environmentally sustainable and commercially viable.
Our Initiatives
Children
- Children are our greatest resource and the biggest hope. Much like water, they are ready to be shaped up as the mould presents itself.
- SSF’s programs for children ensure that children in neglected regions and under resourced schools have access to best breed educational content and gain critical life skills alongside 21st century knowledge to prepare them for an ever changing world
- SSF aims to bridge educational and digital divides through technology adoption.
Youth
- Youth is not only an asset from the perspective of demographic dividend in India but also an important driver of technology-led evolution.
- SSF assists in developing fundamental skills that are complementary to emerging technologies such as literacy, basic academic skills – together with entrepreneurial, financial, digital, cognitive skills (STEM), understanding that the future lies in workers creating economic value with machines rather than against them.
- At SSF, youth are trained and leveraged as the ambassadors of change.
Women
- A positive change in women’s social and economic status generates a multiplier effect across the value chain.
- As digital automation can affect men and women differently, women being seriously underrepresented in the digital sector. SSF espouses to reduce gender divide in STEM, IT and computing.
- At SSF, we work towards making women skilled, connected to contemporary networks to build livelihood and supported with required know-how.
Farmers
- Indian agriculture employs the largest share of the workforce (42%) though its share in overall gross domestic product (GDP) is only 16.5 percent. SSF is catalyzing a transformative change in India’s agriculture by offering FPO support, Agri CoE and Agri startups.

Education & Skilling
- The era of digitalization and automation demands educational policies tuned to promote new-age skills to suit Future of Work.

- SSF with its holistic approach collaborates with IET, IIT Delhi, Innovant etc. Also collaborations with policy makers and training systems try to reorient education to practical, applied and experimental learning approaches.
Healthcare & Nutrition

- We initiate and support innovative health programs at the grassroots leveraging technology.
Agriculture / Environment
- Agriculture, on account of being the largest employer of people below poverty, is at the cross-section of many developmental challenges and needs an integrated approach to trigger sustainable change.
- SSF is currently scaling up Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA).
- We work towards equipping the marginal farmers with current technologies by setting up CoEs (Centre of Excellence), integrating them with Mandi / corporate buyers and making them aware of cost & environmentally efficient methods of energy and water usage.
MSMEs
- MSMEs are considered as the backbone of any economy and possess high potential to mitigate poverty and unemployment.
- SSF is always on the lookout for avenues for enterprises and entrepreneurs so as to enable people participate in the market process. It works with its members, affiliates and partners for the promotion and sustainable development of MSMEs.
