NO CHILD TOO FAR. NO COMMUNITY TOO REMOTE.

POKHRAMA FOUNDATION is a non-profit committed to bringing service projects in remote, rural and underdeveloped areas of India. Our aim is to make opportunity available to those most systemically disadvantaged. We do this by creating excellent institutions which are not just tokens of access to various services, but vehicles of real change.

Our Children, Our Inspiration.

Pokhrama is a village with widespread poverty, no health - care center, no potable water, non -existent sanitation, erratic electricity supply, and widespread caste and gender discrimination. In this challenging environment we derive inspiration from our students whose positivity and resilience shines undiminished through all adversity.
