sakhawat centre
Iqbal Memorial Trust Srinagar having realized the necessity of having a vibrant social service system in place, established Sakhawat Centre in June 2005 as one of its branches in the area of social service. The basic objective of this organization is to provide an appropriate help to orphans, widows, destitute and the community at large whenever it faces any calamity or a disaster. In view of ever increasing number of physically challenged persons and to launch the programme of social service on bigger scale, Sakhawat Centre was registered as an independent social service organization in February, 2013. By now it has emerged as a source of hope for the suffering people of the society. Coming to the rescue of the people affected by natural calamities has become a hallmark of this organization over the past thirteen years.
