Our Vision
A world where no child is ever deprived of education because of hunger — where every young life has the nourishment, strength and opportunity to reach its fullest potential.
About Ramanishri Foundation
A Foundation Born From a Simple Act of Noticing
We began by teaching children yoga. We stayed to make sure they were strong enough to learn, grow, and dream — starting with breakfast.
Who We Are
A Non-Profit Fighting Hunger So Children Can Learn
Ramanishri Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2017 with a clear vision: to eliminate hunger, malnutrition and the barriers to education that hold underprivileged children back.
Through our flagship initiative Bhojanarpanam, we provide scientifically designed nutritious breakfasts to children in orphanages and government schools. Our work has since grown into education, healthcare awareness, yoga education, women empowerment, environmental sustainability, social welfare, disaster relief and animal welfare.
We don't just feed children. We build the conditions in which a childhood can flourish.
Founder's Journey
Shaasi Kumar — Founder & CEO
In 2017, Shaasi Kumar began a free daily yoga education program at an orphanage. In the very first session, he noticed something that troubled him deeply: the children could not perform even basic postures. They lacked strength, their energy was low, and their concentration during learning was poor.
Rather than overlook it, he consulted nutritionists, healthcare professionals and child development experts. The answer was consistent and sobering — the children were weak because of poor nutrition and the absence of a healthy breakfast.
Determined to treat the cause and not the symptom, he led extensive food research and worked with experts to design a nutritious breakfast model that could deliver balanced energy, improve physical health and strengthen concentration. That initiative became Bhojanarpanam — and today it has transformed the lives of thousands of children. His mission continues, with a larger goal: that no child anywhere is denied an education because of hunger.
