About Enactus Shaheed Rajguru
Enactus Shaheed Rajguru is one of the chapters of Enactus under the University of Delhi.
Since its establishment, Enactus Shaheed Rajguru has aimed to empower communities, foster
sustainable development, and inspire positive change throughout our society. Through a
variety of activities, including Skill Development Programs, workshops, events, and
community outreach initiatives, we are passionately committed to these goals. Our efforts
have had a noticeable impact in uplifting communities by supporting underprivileged women,
fostering inclusion for the LGBTQIA+ community, and promoting sustainable practices that
align with today’s environmental priorities. Our efforts and initiatives have been recognized on
numerous platforms, including being among the top 4 teams at the National Exposition 2024
and receiving national recognition for our innovative solutions in the form of our sustainable
projects.
Project Pehchaan
Project Pehchaan was started with a mission to empower the LGBTQIA+ community after we
recognized the challenges faced by this community in gaining financial independence and
societal acceptance, for which we wanted to create a supportive platform to address these
needs. Our main aim under this project is to equip individuals with skills that can provide them
with new found confidence as well as equal employment opportunities. Through our Skill
Development Program (SDP), we offer training to develop these skills in areas like sewing,
vocational as well as academic skills enabling participants to create sustainable, eco-friendly
products.
We also actively organise events like pride run during our college’s sports day, to ensure a
safe and inclusive environment. These events are open to all, encouraging both awareness
and support from the broader community, and fostering a spirit of unity and acceptance.
Kashida
It is a sub project under the umbrella of Project Pehchaan, aims to revitalise and empower
underprivileged women by teaching them the skills of sewing, stitching, and designing, making
them self-reliant and financially stable. Additionally, by addressing the issue of plastic pollution
associated with the textile industry, this endeavour utilises textile waste to manufacture its
products such as jewellery, unisex bags, and file covers. The products are made from
environmentally friendly fabric and textile waste, completely eliminating the use of plastic.
Sehej
It is another comprehensive initiative that falls under project pehchan. Its purpose is to address
the concerns of nutrition and health in India. Through this initiative, beneficiaries produce and
market 100% preservative-free and chemical-free food products including three varieties of
delicious jams and nutritious millet-based cookies . Sehej’s mission is to promote inclusivity
and wellness, creating a healthier future while uplifting marginalised communities
Project Sugavya
It is a sustainable initiative that was started with the aim to promote environmental
responsibility and support local communities by turning waste materials and natural resources
such as cow dung into useful items. Using cow dung and cow urine, a variety of biodegradable
products like eco-friendly lamps with the name Gaumay diyas, and cleaning solutions known
as Gaunyl are created. For this initiative Enactus Shaheed Rajguru has partnered with many
organisations and Shree Jee Gausadan is one of them, a local gaushala, where these
sustainable products are crafted. This collaboration supports underprivileged women workers,
providing them with a stable income.
Project Green Haven
We initiated Project Green Haven as a smart, sustainable solution to reduce pollution and
improve public health. By using agricultural waste to grow fresh, chemical-free mushrooms,
we promote environmentally friendly practices while providing healthy food options. The
project also empowers migrant workers by teaching them mushroom cultivation and marketing
skills, giving them a reliable source of income and helping them build better livelihoods.
Under the Green Haven initiative, we grow a wide range of mushrooms, including Black
Oyster, King Oyster, Button, Pink Oyster, Blue Oyster, and Yellow Oyster varieties. Each
offers a nutritious, eco-friendly choice for health-conscious consumers. Project Green Haven
stands as an example of how sustainability can create positive social and environmental
change, benefiting both communities and the planet.
