Serving the society has become a motto for lot of people across the world. India is not far behind. The number of people and the amount of donation is increasing year after year. In the year 2023, Rs.8445 crores were donated by big Indian philanthropic persons which is more by 59% from the previous year. This is the amount donated by big industrialists & high net worth individuals. The prominent name in the list are Shiv Nadar, Azim Prem ji, Mukesh Ambani, Kumar Manglam Birla, Gautam Adani, Bajaj family etc. The amount of donation by the Indian public and the charity work being done by small NGOs and individuals is much more. The need of the country is very large, and contribution of each family is necessary to mitigate the hardships being faced by poor families in remote areas.
Plus Approach Foundation (PAF) was established with the above thoughts in consideration in 2011. With its little reach, PAF is serving the poor through its various schemes like remedial classes, digital classes, sewing classes, Sapno ka Ghar, Vidushi Vivah Kanyadaan Yojna, YIC Transformation Academy, Artificial Limbs to Amputees etc.
PAF will continue to serve the poor families in the above areas through the donations and sponsorships received from individuals & corporates.
I wish to place on record the help rendered by all members, volunteers, trustees, sponsors & donors of the foundation to make PAF able to reach this level. Our team will continue to work for the betterment of society and positive transformation.
Best wishes,
Vidushi Karnatak
Managing Trustee
