Founder President’s Appeal

A School started in a 10 X 10 room with 2 students is now developed into an 4-storeyed building with 175 students, the foundation of which is the trust of the donors like you. What we have achieved is there before you. Still miles to go further, we all know.

A School started in a 10 X 10 room with 2 students is now developed into an 4-storeyed building with 175 students, the foundation of which is the trust of the donors like you.

What we have achieved is there before you. Still miles to go further, we all know. There are over 18 million mentally Challenged children, and we are catering to only 175 children though we are, by now Matured enough to serve more than 500 children. To achieve this uphill task, we are planning to expand further in every respect – building, machinery and projects.

At every milestone, people like you are helping ‘Punarvas’ to reach the next milestone. We are sure, your help only will support ‘Punarvas’ in the ongoing journey to serve more and more Differently Abled children.

This is a sincere appeal to you to join hands for the upliftment and rehabilitation of the differently abled section of the society.

Thanking you and looking forward for your co-operation.

Late Mr. Prabhakar N. Modak (Founder)

President’s Message

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank all the members of our managing committee for their sincere and dedicated efforts in working as a team and standing by me in taking Punarvas forward. The school is committed to society at large and aims to fulfill its obligations to the communities it touches, with appropriate initiatives, in a dedicated and comprehensive manner.

We made a very humble beginning with just two students in a small garage and since then Punarvas has evolved from strength to strength meeting all challenges, and further empowering our education and practical training programme in order to mainstream these very special children in the society at large.

The smooth functioning of the association is ensured as it is in safe and experienced hands. We foster a positive spirit and believe in partnership between students, parents, teachers and support staff striving to create a school climate striving for excellence. Our students have brought us great laurels of which you will be reading in this annual report and in the newsletters which we email to you from time to time. I thank them all for their efforts in keeping the banner of Punarvas flying high. However, all this would not have been possible without the valuable support of our sponsors and donors.

While we express our heartfelt gratitude to you all, we eagerly look forward to your continued as well as enhanced support in future. We are faced with the daunting task of improving our standards of education and services being rendered to the special needs students and I seek the cooperation of each and every member in this noble cause. Every effort, small or large, will go a long way in achieving this goal.
