By installing open gym equipments we are inculcating the importance of health in the young minds.

ROTI, KAPDA AUR MUSKAAN
The Tribal population of Maharashtra constituting a major part of the tribal population of India is scattered across the state, largely untouched by modernization and urbanization. They live under the most primitive conditions and most of them move from one place to another like nomads. The main source of livelihood is farming, handicrafts, fishing and any odd jobs they find. Even after 62 years of independence, this part of society lives in a different era, a world of poverty, insecurities and uncertainties, wondering where their next meal will come from. Under this initiative, the foundation aims to provide them with rice, clothes and toys by raising funds through the power talk ‘I- Miracle’ and distribute them among the tribal population.
