The Shagun Initiative is a groundbreaking effort dedicated to rescuing underprivileged women from exploitation and empowering them with dignity, security, and hope. In India, marriage is more than a personal milestone—it is a societal cornerstone that profoundly impacts a woman’s future.

On 9th July 2022, Ladli Foundation organized a deeply inspiring and socially significant event at Markandeya Hall, Chhatarpur Mandir, New Delhi a Mass Wedding Ceremony for 51 underprivileged daughters and a Sustainable Kanya Pujan cum Social Adoption Ceremony for 101 underprivileged girls who lost their parental support during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ladli Foundation proudly organized a mass wedding ceremony for 51 underprivileged couples on 2nd December 2019 at Goshala Maidan, Gurugram.

On December 15, 2015, Ladli Foundation organized another grand mass wedding ceremony at Chhatarpur Mandir, New Delhi, bringing together numerous couples as they embarked on a lifelong journey of love and companionship.

On February 16, 2014, Ladli Foundation organized another Shagun mass wedding event at Chhatarpur Mandir, New Delhi, continuing its mission to provide social security and dignity to vulnerable communities. This heartfelt initiative brought together several couples, enabling them to begin a new chapter in life, free from the financial burdens and social pressures associated with dowry.

Ladli Foundation was born from the Shagun initiative, inspired by founder Devendra Kumar’s journey from a crime-ridden slum. Abandoned as a toddler and raised in deep poverty, his fight in 2010 to protect his sister from child marriage and dowry sparked a lifelong mission to uplift marginalized communities through grassroots action.
