Arts & Culture

Keeping living traditions
alive and celebrated.

Beyond social welfare, the DS Puri Foundation believes in the power of culture to connect, elevate and heal. We proudly support India’s rich artistic heritage through meaningful partnerships with organisations dedicated to keeping classical traditions vibrant.

Our collaboration with the Rumi Foundation — led by Muzaffar and MeeraAli — reflects this commitment. Together, we support Jahan-e-Khusrau, one of Delhi’s most prestigious cultural events, celebrating the timeless poetry, music and Sufi heritage of Amir Khusrau.

Special Focus

Empowering the
girl child.

A programme for every chapter of her story.
Ages 5–12 · Foundational Learning
Ages 13–18 · Secondary Education
Ages 18–24 · Vocational Training
Ages 24–30 · Career & Independence

The Foundation holds a special focus on girls and women, recognising that empowering a woman sets off a chain reaction of change across families and communities.

From early childhood through young adulthood, our programmes in education and skill development walk alongside women at each pivotal stage of growth. Access to learning is not a privilege — it is a right. Our women-focused work is designed to close the gap between what is and what ought to be, creating a generation of young women who stand firmly in their own capability.
