Pride India

In collaboration with the PRIDE India Foundation (Planning Rural-Urban Integrated Development Through Education) and the Rotary Club of Bombay Pier, KRYFS champions the Shashwat Gram Integrated Rural Development Initiative across rural Maharashtra.

Key Rural Impact Metrics

  • Comprehensive outreach covering over 1,200+ rural community members across target villages including Cherphalwadi, Numberwadi, and Umbarwadi.
  • Educational exposure visits, science workshops (ज्ञान विज्ञान संवाद), and life-skills empowerment programs for rural school children.
  • Saksham Panchayat Raj local governance training, watershed support, and women self-help group capacity building.

Sustainable Rural Development & Student Empowerment

The initiative adopts a multi-pronged approach addressing health, education, sanitation, and sustainable livelihood. Special educational tours and interactive science workshops allow rural students to explore iconic cultural, scientific, and heritage landmarks, inspiring higher educational aspirations and broadening worldviews.

By cultivating community leadership through Village Development Committees and empowering rural institutions, this project fosters durable self-reliance from the grassroots up.
