Lighting things up…
Rooted in the heart of Mahipalpur, we have been preserving India's cultural heritage and empowering communities since 2010.
Our Journey
Founded in 1984 by dedicated community leaders in Mahipalpur, ANKDS — Aadarsh Navyuvak Kala Kendra avam Dharmik Samiti — was born from a simple vision: that culture, faith, and skill-building belong together in a thriving community.
Registered under S/68932/2010, the organisation has grown from organising a single Navratri celebration to running interconnected centres serving thousands of families across the National Capital Region.
Today, our Silai Kendra has trained over 1,200 women in vocational skills, our Kala Kendra nurtures young artists, and our festival calendar brings the entire community together — year round, generation after generation.
