2. Welcome to the Pankhudi Parivaar!! What is Pankhudi? A social development organization with an aim to uplift the lives of those children who grow with inadequate education, resources and psychological support. Why we do what we do? We wish to enable the underprivileged children to become self-reliant and enjoy their childhood. How it works? We take up initiatives through which our efforts are rightly channelized to enable us help others on a larger scale. Who are we? Born on 18th April 2005, Pankhudi is a bunch of like minded individuals who share similar passion, vision and commitment. Volunteering @ Pankhudi…is an experience that one cherishes throughout his/her life. It is similar to working together in a family (Parivaar).
