Inspiration for the foundation
Story behind the thought
Ms. Pragya Dixit, the founder and chairperson of the foundation, was inspired to establish and lead the organization based on her experiences living in different districts across Uttarakhand. She has been actively involved in social initiatives focused on education, healthcare, and providing support during the COVID-19 pandemic. Realizing the significance of giving back to society, particularly by aiding underprivileged communities, Ms. Pragya created the foundation to work more collaboratively and effectively towards these causes.
