He remembers well the crises of the displaced people after partition in 1947, in particular the suffering endured by the children in need.

Mission Statement
At TBEF we believe that to provide meaningful assistance to the destitute orphans & the
child in distress is the first & foremost deed towards establishing Happy & Strong social
environment.
We need to understand and address the factors that make the destitute orphans vulnerable
of undesirable exploitations. Our work will be organised with these factors in mind, that we
can establish a seed of love, care & sharing attitudinal traits making the children feel
confident of their regular activities, happily enjoying life facing challenges coming across for
education, health, culture & extracurricular activities, being in a strongly knit family
environment.
This would enable them to be empowered to affect positive, long-term change in their day-
to-day lives as well as while they march ahead in the outside world. We think that
transparency is essential and that our actions should be easily replicable by others.
With this goal in mind, we will always share information on our systems, technology,
deployment strategies and general lessons learned. Not only we will make our achievements
public, but our mistakes as well with hopes that other organizations & individuals join us in a
big way & can learn with us along the way, to speedup the positive steps for the noble
cause.
