| FSC is a non- profit, secular and unbiased organization; small seed of which was sown in 1955 by a group of women with a philanthropic perspective to assist women and children in difficult situations. It was given a professional approach by our Founder Director, Dr. (Ms.) Armaity Desai in 1961 by bringing it under the aegis of College of Social Work, Nirmala Niketan. Today it has blossomed into a full grown tree which is committed to provide support and empowerment to the underprivileged sections of society. |
