The CHILDLINE service, developed and managed by CHILDLINE India Foundation (CIF), is a free 24x7 emergency phone outreach service. Children or concerned adults dial the number 1098, from any phone services in India, and are connected to the CHILDLINE service in their city. CHILDLINE is India’s national-level response to the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The 1098 service is available to all phone service providers across India. CHILDLINE responds in over 25 languages across India. CHILDLINE teams physically reach children within approx. an hour of the call, provide SOS attention and link children in need of care and protection to organizations run by government departments as well as those run by civil society agencies. Children and youth living alone on urban streets, child labour – especially in the unorganized sector, child abuse, children being victims of the flesh trade, ill treatment of differently-abled children, addiction in children, children in conflict with the law, children in institutions, mental illness in children, HIV/AIDS or other long term diseases in children, children affected by conflicts and disasters or being political refugees, children’s families in crises, female foeticide, undernourishment, illiteracy, trafficking – are among the host of issues plaguing children in India and also represents the range of cases handled by CHILDLINE. Each kind of case requires its own unique protocol to be followed.

Chaitanya is a pioneering NGO committed to empowering rural women through community-based microfinance and grassroots leadership since 1993. Founded by Dr. Sudha Kothari and Ms. Surekha Shrotriya, Chaitanya began with 14 self-help groups (SHGs) near Chas village in Pune district. Women were encouraged to save just ₹1 a week. This small initiative sparked confidence and unity, leading to over ₹1 lakh in collective savings within a year — and the beginning of a movement. Over the past 31 years, Chaitanya has supported the creation of 10000+ SHGs and 40+ federations, reaching over 1,00,000 rural women across Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. These federations are owned and governed entirely by women, ensuring sustainability, representation, and long-term social impact. Chaitanya facilitated the formation of Maharashtra’s first SHG federation — Grameen Mahila Swayamsiddha Sangha (GMSS) — and has since incubated powerful community institutions such as Saarthi and WISE (Women’s Institute for Social Education) to build capacity and nurture local leadership. Our mission is to build capacities of rural poor, especially women and youth, by promoting and strengthening self-reliant institutions that lead the process of development for a better quality of life. We believe that empowerment is multidimensional — and design interventions across four key areas: 🔹 Sociocultural – Building awareness, education, and health literacy 🔹 Economic – Enabling financial inclusion, income generation, and entrepreneurship 🔹 Legal – Promoting access to rights, documentation, and protection 🔹 Political – Encouraging grassroots governance and women’s leadership Our federations go beyond finance — they address domestic violence, support education, connect women to government schemes, and promote dignity and agency at every level: individual, household, and community. 📍 Registered Office: Moti Chowk, Rajgurunagar, Pune 🌱 Together, let’s turn empowerment into a movement. #ChaitanyaNGO🇮🇳
