What is the Pardada Pardadi Educational Society (PPES)?
PPES is an organization working for rural development through the
empowerment of rural women. It is registered under Society's
Registration Act in India (Registration Number 337) as a society. PPES
works in the area of Anupshahr, in the Bulandshahr district of Uttar
Pradesh, a state in India. To learn more about our key areas of focus

What does PPES do? And what is PPGVS? PPES strives to
develop rural India through the empowerment of rural women. To achieve this, we run the
Pardada Pardadi Girls Vocational School. Students are given value-based
education and vocational skill training in the school, which will give
them employment prospects after graduation and allow them to become
socially and economically independent.
Why girls? PPES wants to address the most vulnerable
section of the society. In India and world over, women and girl children
are the most marginalized.
Do we plan to extend our services to other regions? There
are more than 50,000 families in Anupshahr whose income is less than 600
Rupees (US $13) per month. We want to reach out to all of these families
first.
We welcome partnerships with other organizations or individuals to
replicate this model elsewhere.
Why do we provide traditional skills (i.e. sewing) for vocational
training? Anupshahr is an agrarian society and has no other
employment opportunities. We surveyed the villagers and decided that
home furnishing would provide the most long-term sustainable trade.
We welcome any new ideas and suggestions for vocational training that
can lead to life-long employment opportunities for our students.
Why isn't the government running a school - since it's the
government's responsibly to provide education? The education
system in India is failing its citizens. Not only are many Indians not
getting a decent education, but the education they do receive doesn’t
lead to employment opportunities or prepare them for life.
How can an individual/organization get associated with PPES?
PPES welcome all individuals/organizations to be apart of its
family. See our volunteer page or
contact us.
How do I know my
donations will help the girls at PPES? PPES maintains audited financial
statements for your review.
