The Lakshmi Narain and Parvati Goel Charitable Trust continues a family's lifelong practice of service, standing beside hospitals, schools, temples and the people they serve, one meaningful contribution at a time.
Long before this Trust had a name, it had a practice. In our family home, no one in need was turned away from the door: a meal here, school fees quietly paid there, a hospital bill settled without a word. Shri Lakshmi Narain Goel and Smt. Parvati Goel never called it charity. To them it was simply how one lives.
The Trust gives that lifelong habit a lasting form. It brings the family together around a single, shared purpose: to keep giving, thoughtfully, personally and without fanfare, to the causes they hold closest, above all the health of a community and the education of its children.
We are not a large institution, and we do not wish to be. We are a family that gives, carefully, directly and for the long term.
The Goel Family
The Trust keeps its work simple and personal, we identify a real need, give directly, and stay involved long after the handover.
Ambulances, medical equipment and support for hospitals and clinics, and help with treatment for families who could not otherwise afford it.
Scholarships, books and learning materials, and support for schools that open doors for children from modest backgrounds.
Contributions to temples, dharamshalas and community organisations, the places that quietly anchor the life of a neighbourhood.
Direct assistance to individuals and families in difficulty, extended discreetly and with the respect every person deserves.
परोपकारः पुण्याय पापाय परपीडनम्
"Virtue lies in serving others; sin, in causing them harm."
Maharishi Ved Vyasa
The Trust recently presented a fully equipped ambulance to Shree Kashi Vishwanath Mandir in Varanasi, a temple that welcomes lakhs of devotees, where minutes can decide whether help arrives in time.
The vehicle now stands in active service for pilgrims and residents alike, and we hope it will carry many safely for years to come.
The Trust bears the names of two people whose generosity asked for nothing in return, and whose example the family strives to live up to every day.
A man of few words and steady deeds, whose door, and hand, were always open.
The heart of the household, for whom kindness was a daily discipline, not an occasion.
Whether you are an organisation seeking support for a genuine cause, or a well-wisher who would like to give through the Trust, we would be honoured to hear from you.
