About us

Beneficiary Details

Purkal Youth Development Society (PYDS) is our main beneficiary, PYDS is a registered Society (estd. 2003), located in Purkal village. It is school run by PYDS in a semi-rural region on the outskirts of Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The entire region is underdeveloped and PYDS sprung as an oasis quenching the thirst for quality education and holistic care. The CBSE-affiliated school run by PYDS for grade I to XII over the period of 2 last decades has and continues to bring growth, development and prosperity to the region through grass root education and mentorship. The Society caters to deeply needy, underprivileged children of rural Dehradun and other remote and underdeveloped districts of Uttarakhand such as Chamoli, Nainital, Pauri Gharwal Pithoragarh, Tehri Garhwal and Uttarkashi.

The society currently looks after 509 children (320 girls and 189 boys) who come from 170 locations spread across 7 districts of the state of Uttarakhand.

How we made a difference

Working towards the upliftment of the youth coming from backward regions of any place is always a challenge. We do our best to assist these students in achieving what they aspire by first providing for the basics that they lack and need.

Sponsoring a class

Education is not limited to only class room teaching, books and stationary. As and when the support was required, YDP works to able overall holistic development through funding and mentorship. 

We are proud to support the education, nutrition and overall development of many students through the last 16 years

The multi-floor toilet project

The multi-floor toilet project is executed at school to provide good well designed hygienic toilets to the students and staff. This project now has a direct impact on 509 students and 117 staff members.  The old toilets in the school were built about 12 years ago when the strength was 120.

Technological Advancement

Six desktops in the E-Lab of PYDS were replaced as these computers were more than a decade old and outdated. E-lab is used by the students to spend time in researching for the content taught in class and make projects. Teaching staff was also provided with upgraded laptops that are being used by them for creating lesson plans, displaying videos and share online learning material with the students in their smart classes.

Procuring land for expansion

Most of the beneficiary students of PYDS come from meagre households which may not be able to provide conducive environment for the children to thrive and blossom to their full potential. With the aim to provide students with better conditions than the ones in which they study at home, hostel facilities are provisioned. YDP supported PYDS in acquiring land to build a Modern Hostel complex.
