Impact
Every monthly donation helps in educating more kids like Sahil
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.

Program Description
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.

Purkal Youth Development Society's Update

Program Update
The new academic session started in early April and we took in more beneficiaries under our care. Almost all children fared well in their examinations last year and moved up a class. Students who were unable to cope are now undergoing additional Remedial Classes to help them with their learning gaps.
In terms of assets, 2 new school buses were added to our fleet. A third boys' hostel has been rented to accommodate 22 more boys, primarily hailing from the upper reaches of our Himalayan State. A Tinkering Laboratory to inculcate scientific temper for futuristic technologies is also being constructed and will be operational within a month.
A group of students were taken on an excursion to the higher Himalayan range during the summer break. They visited villages and learnt about the local culture. They also understood the importance of teamwork and fraternity. Further they saw snow-capped peaks of Nanda Devi and Panchchuli. They stayed at a Gandhi Ashram facility and learned more about Mahatma Gandhi. The whole trip was really a learning experience for all the students. This was particularly interesting since many of the children are native to similar regions in the State.
Story from the field
Akash is today in the midst of opulence in a five-star ambience, perhaps ten hours every day. His aspirations lie in a career that doesn't remotely resemble his past. The Taj Group selected him for their Golden Threshold Program which they run in association with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai; while the latter provide the input and training in their theory. They are also providing the practical orientation for his training in the hospitality industry.
His life in New Delhi, where he encounters affluent customers, is diametrically different from the life he has led so far. Having lost his father as an infant, his widowed mother was left penniless and forsaken by friends and family. After years of relentless toil, she remarried, and found an employer who uses her as domestic help and her husband as a driver.
During his years with us, Akash grew into an admirable young man, proving himself not only in academics but also as a leader. He made conscientious efforts to develop himself as an all-rounder. He is a recognized athlete and skilled dramatist. His strength lies in his composed and affable personality. We are proud of him and are confident that he will soon secure his future.
