WHO WE ARE
Tiratna Foundation Trust (Charitable)
Tiratna Foundation Trust is a registered charitable trust established on 23 December 2020, dedicated to the holistic welfare of society through education, spirituality, social service, and livelihood support.
Founded by Ven. Dhammankur Jyoti Bhante (Alias Jyoti Baran Chakma), the Trust was created with a deep concern for the educational, moral, and economic challenges faced by people living in rural, remote, and underprivileged communities, especially in Tripura
What We Do
01.
Condition of Modern Orphan Children in India
In modern India, many orphan children still face serious challenges despite government schemes and NGOs. They often struggle with lack of emotional support, quality education, healthcare, nutrition, and safe shelter. In the digital era, orphan children are also at risk of digital exclusion, child labor, trafficking, addiction, and loss of moral guidance. Without proper care and mentorship, their talents remain hidden and their future uncertain.
02.
Our Inspiration
The Trust is inspired by the timeless values of the Buddha’s teachings—
Compassion (Karuṇā), Wisdom (Paññā), Moral Conduct (Sīla), and Service to Humanity.
Our founder, being a Buddhist monk and social worker, envisioned an organization that works without discrimination of caste, creed, religion, or gender, purely for the happiness and well-being of the many (Bahujana Hitāya, Bahujana Sukhāya).
03.

Impact Stories
From Hesitation to Confidence – A Village Child’s Educational Journey
Within two years, Rina transformed remarkably. She began participating in class discussions, reading confidently, and helping other students learn. Today, she dreams of becoming a teacher so she can return to serve children in villages like hers.
Impact:
Education did not just change her academic performance—it changed her vision of life and empowered her family to value learning.
Skill Development Creating Economic Dignity
Our development program introduced skill enhancement training, basic financial literacy, and a platform to market handmade products. Participants learned how to improve quality, package products, and sell them both locally and online.
Soon, small groups began producing crafts regularly. Their income, though modest at first, became steady. Families that once struggled for essentials could now support children’s education and healthcare.
One participant shared:
“Earlier we worked without direction. Now we work with dignity and purpose.”
Impact:
Economic empowerment restored confidence, strengthened families, and created a self-reliant community rooted in ethical livelihood.
