Janayitri Intro Video

Who we are...

Janayitri Foundation is a non-profit organization incorporated to perform charitable activities to benefit public by offering relief for poor, distressed or underserved, and those with educational affiliations and enhance society by offering social services.

Janayitri is derived from Sanskrit language, which as a word means (Mother), another name for the divine power of care and love. If derived further, Jana means “People” and Yatri means “Friendly”, meaning Janayitri is people friendly, an apt name for organization that help those people in need. Janayitri is an independent volunteer-run organization with NO affiliations to any Government, Political or Religious entities.

Behind Janayitri...

I am Pushyami Duvvuri, Founder of Janayitri Foundation. I am a self-accomplished woman at work, handling my businesses and at home with a happy family. I still remember growing up with just my father and two sisters, how much I missed losing my mother in my early childhood days. Really challenging for me at that age is to fully grasp the loss of my mother and to move on with our lives. It was not easy for us, and having gone through that pain and consequences thereafter, I always thought about making a small difference to better those children of any age journey going through grief following the loss of a parent. I have also seen situations, even though not in my case, the financial hardship in addition to losing a parent is devastating in their lives. This gave me a whole different perspective of my life and evolved me into a person, with the support of my husband Mr. Rajashekar Choutkuri, who I am now wanting to dedicate part of my life to serve not only those children with a loss of their parent, but also those in need of basic essential needs.

As Mahatma Gandhi once quoted, “You may never know what results come of your action, But if you do nothing there will be no result.”

With utmost joy and happiness, I formed my long dreamt charitable organization called “JANAYITRI FOUNDATION”. Janayitri will connect people and entities who care for those with basic survival needs across religion and geographical boundaries.
