Kartavyam was established in 2001 and registered on 1st May 2015.

It was a mere dream of a person who believed and promoted giving it back to society.

Madhu Sudan Mishra, the founder of Kartavyam, made his dream project into reality by starting this NGO and initiated food and clothing drives. He always wanted to help people on a large scale; hence he came up with his big project of setting up a School named "संस्कार विद्यापीठ" in U.P. This school was built in memory of his late father R.C.Mishra to provide free education to underprivileged kids. Besides this, Kartavyam has also done multiple drives for animal welfare.

She went on to become the Chief Executive in 2010 and, over the past 25 years, has helped build a solid organizational framework for KARTAVYAM which reflects the values of justice and equity for all children.
