आस्था
AASTHA — faith — is the name under which the Data Group family carries out its philanthropic work. It is constituted as a registered trust rather than an informal programme — Aastha A Divine Yogic Connection Trust, registration number 51/2017, based in Hanuman Nagar, Jaipur — and is led by Nidhie A. Data and Ritika Data.
It works across Rajasthan, on peace and wellbeing, direct assistance, healing and education. The trust keeps its own site at aastha.org.in, where its projects and trustees are set out in full.
