Who We Are

About Us

We are a Pahadi community group working for culture, charity, and help across Uttarakhand.

Mission

To unite Uttarakhandis worldwide through cultural preservation, charitable action, and community empowerment — ensuring no Pahadi family is left behind in times of need.

A thriving Uttarakhand where every village has access to education, healthcare, and opportunity — where Pahadi culture flourishes and communities stand strong together.

Bringing Uttarakhandis together

We support culture, education, and help for people who need it.

Uttarakhand Mahasangh brings Pahadi people together through shared culture and service. We work to keep our traditions alive while helping families in need.

Our volunteers take part in food drives, education programs, cultural events, and emergency relief — for children, elders, and communities across Uttarakhand and beyond.

UKM arranged everything for our journey home during lockdown. They didn't just book a train — they fed us, sheltered us, and treated us like family.

Through Online Paathshala, children in our remote village now have access to teachers and learning materials they never had before.
