About Us
Theosophical
Order of Service (T.O.S.), Mumbai Region is doing
good work for the underprivileged and for the education
of poor children and welfare of their families,
since the year 1969. Our Trust was registered in
the year 1977 with regn. no. INS/11951, under Bombay
Public Trust Act, 1950-E-4385 (Bom). We are registered
under section under section 12-A of Income Tax Act,
1961. At present, we are helping 480 poor and deserving
children for their education and there are many
poor children on the waiting list.
Planning Commission of Government
of India, New Delhi has listed Theosophical Order
of Service (T.O.S.), Mumbai Region as one of the
good/valid Non-Government Organisations in India.
We are also recommended by Save the Children Fund
(U.K.), India Office, New Delhi.
Our organization is a cosmopolitan charitable trust,
non-political and we do not use funds for any religious
purpose. 50% of our beneficiaries are poor people
with family income of less than Rs. 3000/- to Rs.
4000/- per month and family income of less than
Rs. 10000/- per month for those who are disadvantaged
in other ways. Children are selected for sponsorship
after due enquiry and investigation and on recommendation
of the Principal of the Institution where the child
is studying. Donations to T.O.S. are exempted from
Income Tax under Section 80G of the I.T. Act 1961.
Cheque/Demand Draft is to be drawn in favour of
'Theosophical Order of Service'.
Our Members also work for the blind, the sick and
for animal welfare. We were supported by Save the
Children Fund, London for more than thirty years,
but now, SCF London has phased out this individual
sponsorship scheme all over the world. Now we depend
on the generosity of individual donors/sponsors
from India & abroad. We issue receipts for all donations/grants
received by us. Our accounts are audited every year
by a Chartered Accountant and are passed in Annual
General Meetings.
We are in great need of sponsors and shall be thankful
to you, if you can lend your support, and also find
more sponsors for us, for this project. We provide
case history of the sponsored child alongwith the
photograph of the child to the sponsor. Annually,
we send a photocopy of the marksheet of the child
with a letter of thanks from the child/parent to
the sponsor. If you need any further information,
please feel free to get in touch with us.
It is pertinent to mention here that Dr. Annie Besant the world renowned Philanthropist, pioneer of Home Rule Movement in India, President of National Congress and International President of the Theosophical Society, founded T.O.S. in the year 1908 to give practical expression to the lofty Teachings of the Theosophical Society TRUTH, LOVE AND BROTHERHOOD, with the main object of alleviating human misery & suffering from this world. The motto of Theosophical Order of Service is Union of all who love in the service of all that suffers.
Another noteworthy achievement of T.O.S. Mumbai Region is the holding of Annual Colloquia - Educational Training Camps especially for training the youths for five days usually at one of the hill stations of Maharashtra State. In these Colloquiums, the rich and the poor, the young and the old, the highly qualified and the mediocre completely forget their differences and learn to lead a perfect community life in real spirit of Brotherhood. It is a great boon to the so-called backward class delegates to learn good manners, gain confidence to unfold their latent talents, aspire to be good citizen and become useful human beings.
