Philanthropy began when she was 14 years, while
studying at Nazareth Academy, Gaya, Bihar. Often she was asked where she had done her MSW from and her answer would be- “I always wonder,, does one really need any degree or qualification for social work? It comes from the heart.” While in school she would give tuition classes. Consequently giving vocational training to under-privileged boys and girls, in housekeeping, languages, basics of computers, socks-knitting etc.
Sandhya, conducted workshops for motivating women in rural India, especially the handicapped, training & creating job opportunities for them. She has worked for the leper colonies helping them get medication and making them self-reliant through candle making. She created an awareness about health and hygiene in the leper colonies effectively re-enforcing the words -"Who says that Leprosy cannot be fought, it can be totally be cured.....”
