Introduction:
Asha Deep Foundation is a Non Profit Organisation, carrying out development activities since last 25 years in the slums of North East district of Delhi near Delhi-UP border and the five villages of Loni block of Ghaziabad district.

The available potential for economical growth has made a positive development with support of intellectual progress. The nation’s wealth reserve has also grown to a moderate volume. But It’s benefits are only visible in the living standard of upper and upper middle class society, unfortunately the lower section of society such as Dalits, Schedule Caste, Schedule Tribes and Backward class remains in the same isolation as ever. The reason for their wretched condition is uneven distribution of wealth among all the section as well as ignorance of social development of these community.
