Our vision
A Hardoi where every child and adult — whatever their background — can reach education, skills and dignity, and take a full part in community life.
About Isar Ibrat Foundation
Rooted in Hardoi. Working for opportunity.
Isar Ibrat Foundation is a charitable society registered in 1999, based in Sukhan Khera village, Hardoi district, Uttar Pradesh. We work to widen access to education, skills and community health.
Our story
Twenty-five years of quiet, local work.
Isar Ibrat Foundation was registered as a charitable society with the Registrar of Firms, Societies & Chits, Uttar Pradesh on 30 November 1999 (registration no. 2052/1999-2000). It grew out of a simple conviction shared by its founders in Hardoi: that education, basic health and honest information are the surest ways to lift a rural community — and that they should reach the families who have the least access to them.
Its registered memorandum sets out a deliberately broad charitable mandate — the social, educational, moral and intellectual development of the general public — with education at its heart, alongside vocational training, community health, and rural and environmental development.
Over more than two decades that mandate has taken practical shape: road-safety awareness campaigns that reach local school students, free eye check-up and spectacle-distribution camps, community awareness seminars and street plays, and welfare programmes for minority communities — much of it delivered in partnership with government departments. In 2012 the Foundation received Income Tax recognition under Sections 12AA and 80G, and its name appears in the published records of national institutions from 2019 onward.

Everyone belongs
We work across communities and place particular focus on women, young people and families who have the least access to education and opportunity.
Open and accountable
We publish our registration, our documents and our records, and we account for our work honestly — nothing about the Foundation should be hard to verify.
Rooted in the community
Our work is delivered locally in Hardoi, in partnership with government programmes and the people it is meant to reach.

How we are run
Governed by a managing committee.
The Foundation is governed by a managing committee — most recently certified as a twelve-member body with a patron, president, vice-president, general secretary/treasurer, secretaries, a legal adviser and an auditor. The certified 2019–20 committee list forms part of our registered record.
Under our registered rules, accounts are audited annually, funds are held in the society's name at a nationalised or scheduled bank, and changes to the rules require a two-thirds majority of the general body.
