We are happy to inform all our stakeholders that we now are an FCRA approved NGO.
We have been trying to get this approval through the GoI portal for quiet some time and although it is a bit time consuming,
we found out that it certainly is doable on our own. Earlier in the last week of December we were informed that the status has been updated and we received our certificate last week.
We hope to achieve even higher aims with the backing of this news at the beginning of the new year.
We will soon update the donation information here

Integrated Schools: Under this project we connect one school from Border region with one school from mainland India. They have at least one interaction per month through video conferencing. They have guest lectures and the schools in Border areas are inntroduced to new teaching techniques and new opportunities for students. Currently Khushal Valley Public School from J&K is interacting with Jnana Prabodhini school, Pune, MH. “Abhilasha”,
Featuring 21 Paramveer chakra awardees on a feature wall, the Ekatmata Udyan or national Integration Park is a place near Pune (at Chandiwali) that symbolizes the national integration and brings together groups of active people to work towards a common national cause.
