Impact

Sahil lives with his family of 7 on his father's income of Rs.2500($55) per month. His family struggles with a lack of basic facilities. Even though he was clever and talented his potential was going to be lost because of poverty. It was then that he joined PYDS. PYDS recognized his potential to succeed. He was cared for physically and mentally, using advanced educational techniques that create curiosity and a passion for knowledge.Sahil soon became the topper of his class. He uses his free time to read but also loves dancing and sports. Children like Sahil are proof that a holistic education can develop our future community leaders. Support a childlike Sahil and follow the child's journey into a fine adult.

About The Program

PYDS provides holistic care, comprising free education, nutrition, health care, personality development opportunities, skill development and co-curricular activities to all the children at School. PYDS strive towards creating a conducive, vibrant and progressive learning environment for the children. In addition to holistic and contemporary education, all students are provided with four meals a day. Partnerships with educational path breakers such as iDiscoveri (Xseed), tGelf, AFS, IAYP, ACER, etc ensures overall world-class academic exposure. Extra-curricular activities and regular inter-school interactions and exchanges keep the students and teachers in sync with current learning trends and educational tools. The School was chosen by Mind Mingle in 2015 for a visit by around 20 Principals of reputed schools from around the country, with an emphasis on learning rather than teaching. Donate to this program and help children in rural communities get access to quality education.

About The NGO

Purkal Youth Development Society came into existence when Mr Swamy noticed gaping lacunae that existed in the rural community in terms of youth employability. The youth in that area lacked opportunities, motivation, and determination to move forth. Thus, PYDS came into being. Located in village Purkal, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, Purkal Youth Development Society (PYDS) provides quality education and holistic care through a CBSE affiliated school, from Grade I to XII to children (predominantly girls) with potential, from deeply needy and underprivileged families. This is done through a combination of high-quality academics, adequate nutrition, comprehensive health care, and full exposure to co-curricular areas, at no cost to the families. Their ultimate objective is to prepare the students for adequate employability. The parents/guardians of these students are mostly illiterate or semi-literate employed as marginal farmers, domestic helpers, farmers, drivers and watchmen. We give preference to children of needy, single mothers.For its work, the Society has been awarded numerous times. Some of these prestigious awards include Spirit of Humanity Annual Award, Life Time Achievement SABERA Award, International Social Impact Award, India NGO Awards. In its journey, the Society has impacted 839 beneficiaries, out of which 114 are adequately employed in varied fields and 161 are pursuing further education.
