About the Organization

They believed that well-educated professionals working within communities can bring both the empathy and knowledge needed to help poor people improve their lives.

Deep and Vijay also believed that grassroots work in the spirit of pradan, or giving back to society, can be a fulfilling and viable vocation for educated men and women. PRADAN was established to systematically groom and enable professionals with empathy towards the poor to work at the grassroots level.
