A Life of Service

He did not wait for the right moment.
He simply began.

Some people wait for abundance before they give. Shri Shrishti Narayan Jha never did. Having spent a lifetime in the service of society, he returned to his roots — the village of Hati, Sarisab Pahi in Madhubani — and quietly resumed what his family had always done: giving. Not from surplus, but from conviction. From his pension. From whatever was at hand.

Warm blankets on cold winter nights. Food served to hundreds at community bhandaras. Scholarships granted quietly, so that a child's poverty would never decide their future. A hall offered so that families who could not afford dignity could still celebrate it. These were never grand gestures — they were the daily practice of a man who believes, simply and deeply, that service is the highest form of Dharma.

He is a man whose vision has always exceeded his means — and who has made peace with that, because he measures an undertaking not by what is convenient, but by what is right. Inspired by the legacy of Mahamana Madan Mohan Malaviya, he dreams and builds at a scale driven by faith rather than by resources, trusting that a worthy cause will, in time, gather the hands it needs.

"When the heart serves without expectation, the nation transforms one life at a time."

— Shri Shrishti Narayan Jha
Purpose & Philosophy

Why he gives

A philosophy of seva — selfless, rooted, and offered without expectation of return.

🪔

Seva as Dharma

To him, service is not charity performed from a distance — it is duty, the highest expression of faith. One serves because it is right, not because it is noticed.

🌾

Rooted in Mithila

His work begins where he belongs — in the villages of Madhubani and the wider Mithila region, among the people whose needs he understands because they are his own.

🤲

Without Selfish Motive

He seeks no recognition, no title, no reward. The institutions he builds are not monuments to a name — they are vessels through which others may also serve.

From a Family Trust to a Public Movement

One family's seva,
opened to all.

In 2023, his personal mission took its first formal shape — the Hari Narayan Jha & Shiv Narayan Jha Educational and Social Support Trust (Reg. 316/04/23), named in honour of his grandfather and great-uncle, revered Sanskrit scholars and philanthropists of Village Hati.

But one truth became clear: the needs of society are far greater than one family can meet alone. So in 2026, Shri Jha stepped beyond his own roots and founded Shivhari Dharma Foundation Trust — a public charitable trust, open to all who wish to join a shared mission of care, dignity and opportunity. The two are not rivals; they are companions. The older trust remains the family's grassroots seva; the new one is the institutional vehicle through which that seva can reach farther — and invite the wider society to take part.

His Vision

A healthier, more dignified Mithila

The conviction that no one should travel hundreds of kilometres, or surrender their dignity, simply to receive care.

Accessible Healthcare

His foremost dream is Jaitrinath Arogya Sansthan — a planned charitable hospital at Paitghat, Lalganj, bringing quality, affordable care to a region long underserved.

Opportunity Through Education

Scholarships, recognition of scholars, and cultural revival — so that the intellectual heritage of Mithila is carried forward by the next generation.

A Movement, Not a Monument

He envisions a public trust that outlives any one person — institutions sustained by a community of givers, long after the founder's own hands have rested.

Meet the wider team carrying this vision forward.
