Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 2: Inspired by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a globally revered spiritual and humanitarian leader who has spearheaded an unprecedented worldwide movement for a stress-free, violence-free society; The Art of Living is tirelessly bridging the gap between overlooked border regions and mainstream communities. Fueled by the belief that inclusivity is the bedrock of national strength, the organisation uses education, technology, and environmentally sustainable solutions to create a more unified and resilient future; where radicalisation is discouraged and education, along with engagement, drives the future.
Numbers in Action: Key areas of work in border villages
