Shobha Devi Goenka Foundation

Care that begins
close to home.

Sharing meals. Supporting community spaces. Standing by people in times of need.

Our community work

Rooted in Akola.
Guided by family.

Led by Shobha Devi Goenka, our family stays personally involved in giving back to the community we call home.

A meal. A little care.

Our family serves meals at Akola Government Hospital. A simple, ongoing way to care for people in our community.

Places that bring people together.

Shri Gokulchand Goenka gave land for New Agrasen Bhawan and Gokul Colony. We continue to support these shared community spaces.

Being there when it matters.

During the pandemic, the family made a student hostel available as a COVID care centre. We offered what we could when our city needed it.

Part of who we are.

This commitment is shared across our family and carried forward together.
