A Little Place of Hope  A Force for Change 

In the quiet heartland of Maharashtra, Pragati Magaswargiya Mahila Sanstha (PMMS), Bhandara has been creating waves of change since 1997 — not with slogans, but through action. For over two decades, we’ve worked at the grassroots with one belief: that every child deserves a future, every woman deserves a voice, and every village deserves dignity. We run a fully free school for rural children who would otherwise be left behind. We empower women and youth with real skills, confidence, and pathways to earn with pride. We restore ecosystems — conserving water, soil, and forests — while leading critical efforts in health, sanitation, and digital inclusion. Our approach is simple: people-first, purpose-driven, and deeply rooted in community ownership. We don’t believe in charity — we believe in partnerships that create measurable, lasting impact. If you’re looking to support work that’s proven, powerful, and grounded in real results — welcome to PMMS. Together, let’s build a future where rural India doesn’t just survive — it thrives.
