Swarga Foundation was founded in October 2014 by my husband, Guruprasad T S and me, which works for the betterment of people with neurological disorders and disabilities.

Swargas Mission is to improve the lives of individuals with Multiple Sclerosis and other neuro-muscular disorders by increasing awareness among the general public and thereby transforming the general attitude in society towards differently-abled individuals. This transformation will increase empathy and improve access to opportunities that are currently inaccessible due to lack of infrastructure and misinterpretations of disabilities among the general public.
