.. Pankhudi Pune ..
Our Mission: We at Pankhudi Pune are trying to build a better tomorrow for us & our nation with the biggest asset of our society - the children!
At Pankhudi Pune we are primarily involved with the education related activities, under the name of Protsahan, for the children of Patil Estate. For Protsahan our basic motivation is to put different options for their future, in front of them and enable them to choose the better ones. We guide them to broaden their views and make children grow up into empowered citizens who can support themselves and their families through a lifestyle devoid of any compromises with the basic needs.
About Pankhudi Pune in brief:
We conduct Protsahan classes on weekends at classrooms provided by supportive staff of COEP (College of Engineering, Pune).
We teach Maths, English and Science to the kids in very interactive way to improve their basics in these subjects. With the belief
that teaching life skills to the young children is as important as the routine curriculum, we also teach life skills topics to them.
On weekdays, some of our dedicated volunteers have also started extra classes for the kids who need serious attention to their academics.
At the beginning of every academic year we also try to admit dropout kids from the community to school with the help of Sarva Siksha Abhiyan -
Pune and near by schools who have always been supportive to us.

We also conduct other useful campaigns on need basis. Recently, Pankhudi conducted a nationwide Sahayta - collection drive for the victims of
Leh cloud burst. Pune itself collected a truck full of cloths, utensils, books, etc which was handed over to Goonj for further distribution at Leh.
How can I contribute?
We believe that each one of us wants to and can contribute to society in their own ways. We are just listing a few of them here.
One can teach on weekends or help in developing teaching content, help in non-field activities like website, blog, photo gallery updation,
design posters for campaigns, conduct fine-arts / dance / drawing classes for children during their holidays, and so on. The volunteers can
also be involved in occasional/ one-time activities like collection drives, outings, health camps, and festival celebrations.
