About Us

Empowering communities through compassion, education, and sustainable growth.

Where It All Began

Established in April 2022, Abhishree Foundation is a registered NGO based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Founded by Mr. Ankur Lokre, our mission is to uplift and empower youth, women, and children across India. Guided by a deep commitment to societal betterment, we've initiated programs in Indore, Dehradun, Pune, and Assam.

The Road So Far

April 2022 — The Beginning

In the heart of Indore, Abhishree Foundation was born from a vision that had been taking shape for years. Founded by Mr. Ankur Lokre, the foundation started as a small, community-driven initiative.

2022–2023 — Growing Reach

The foundation expanded beyond Indore, touching lives in Pune, Dehradun, Assam, and other regions. Education and mental well-being became the cornerstone of our mission.

2023–2024 — Flagship Projects

Project Nirmanshala launched for education and skill development. Project Sanchetna was born to break the stigma around mental health. The Child Protection Committee Awareness Program strengthened our commitment to the most vulnerable.

Today — Onward

Rooted in the belief that small steps lead to great achievements, we continue our journey — bringing communities closer to a brighter, more inclusive future.
