Prerna Gram Vikas Sanstha

International Women’s Day

Every year on March 8, Prerna Gram Vikas Sanstha honours the extraordinary courage of women in our communities — especially single mothers and separated women who rise daily against all odds. We gather to celebrate, reflect, and recommit to creating a world where every woman is seen, supported, and celebrated not just on one day, but every day of the year.

International Day of Women Farmer

On October 15, Prerna Gram Vikas Sanstha proudly celebrates the women farmers who quietly feed nations yet rarely receive the recognition they deserve. We use this day to honour their resilience, spotlight their contribution to sustainable agriculture, and reaffirm our commitment to walking beside them — ensuring they access training, markets, and the dignity their labour has always earned.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities

On December 3, Prerna Gram Vikas Sanstha reaffirms its promise to every individual we serve. We celebrate the courage and capability of persons with disabilities — those who have embraced new skills, built livelihoods, and refused to be defined by limitation. This day reminds us that ability is not determined by circumstance, and dignity belongs to everyone, without exception.

Independence Day

On August 15, as the nation marks Independence Day, Prerna Gram Vikas Sanstha gathers with its communities to celebrate a deeper kind of freedom — freedom from poverty, dependence, and exclusion. For the women and individuals we work with, true independence is earned not once, but daily, in every small but courageous step forward.

Republic Day

On January 26, Prerna Gram Vikas Sanstha reflects on the constitutional values of justice, equality, and dignity that guide every programme we run. As the nation celebrates its founding document, we recommit to making those principles real at the grassroots — for the farmer, the single mother, and every citizen still waiting to fully experience the Republic’s promise.

Flag Hoisting by Single Women

To ensure that single and disabled women receive a position of honor and to change society’s perspective toward them, a unique initiative was launched across 14 project villages. We visited local Gram Panchayats and schools to propose that flag-hoisting ceremonies be performed by single or disabled women, a suggestion that was wholeheartedly supported by four Sarpanches and two school principals. As a result, flag-hoisting ceremonies were conducted by these women at four Gram Panchayats and two primary schools, which significantly boosted their self-esteem and confidence. This inclusive approach encouraged many other single and disabled women to attend the events, transforming a tradition that was previously dominated by men into a community celebration with high female participation.
