WELCOME TO SARHAD

Sarhad is a social, cultural and educational organization that has dedicated itself to a cause. That is bonding with the people of the strife-torn border regions. The Sarhad Story started with the motivation, dedication and perseverance of an ordinary middle-class youth from Maharashtra. It has transformed into a people’s movement in the form of Sarhad. Over the past three decades, Sarhad has created a place for itself in the minds and hearts of people living in the conflict – prone borders of India through its genuine affection and selfless work.
