Apart from organizing health camps and health awareness programmes, the Trust also distributes medicines to economically weaker sections of the society.

While a lot is spoken of equal rights for women in India, the situational reality of the status of women in India, particularly in rural areas, is pathetic. Gender disparity manifests itself in various forms, the most obvious being the trend of continuously declining female population rates in the last few decades.
Women’s education in India has been major pre-occupation of both the Government and civil society as educated women can play a very important role in the development of the country.

SOCIAL REHABILITATION AND RURAL UPLIFTMENT

They include illiteracy, unemployment and lack of sanitation, water–borne diseases, malnutrition, alcoholism and scarce medical facilities among others.

While a lot is spoken of equal rights for women in India, the situational reality of the status of women in India, particularly in rural areas, is pathetic. Gender disparity manifests itself in various forms, the most obvious being the trend of continuously declining female population rates in the last few decades. The underlying causes of gender inequality are related to social and economic factors. Consequently, the access for women, particularly those in the rural areas, to education and health among others is inadequate. RAPS Charitable Trust aims at a holistic approach to the development of women to enable them to realize their full potential and establish a dignified status for themselves in the society.

EDUCATION FOR WOMEN
Women’s education in India has been major pre-occupation of both the government and civil society as educated women can play a very important role in the development of the country. Gender discrimination still persists in India and a lot more needs to be done in the field of women’s education in India. The Trust strives to ensure that all girl children get formal education.
ENVIRONMENT
One of the key focus areas of the Trust is environment conservation. The environment we live in has a specific ecosystem; when habitats are destroyed, biodiversity is lost, natural resources are depleted. This is caused primarily by human processes. The tremendous strides we have made in industrialization have had its negative side. We have lost natural forests, fauna and flora and many natural resource bases. Pollution is happening all over the world. Hazardous waste discharge has become a serious threat. Smog, poor air quality is all due to this. Air pollution has an adverse effect on the ozone layer. These factors need very serious attention today. If not solved they may lead us towards various unending questions. Will man senselessly destroy the ecosystems that support life on this planet? Will he be able to maintain a sustainable earth and eventually build a new humanity?
FOCUS AREA
The Trust is keen to contribute its might to help restore the eco-system, connect the community around it with nature and make a positive impact. Restoring the delicate balance of our planet will be the key challenge. Plant tree samplings for increasing green cover. Creating awareness among the community
