Thanks Pras! So nice to read about Amit and Archana. Can't help but respect and admire them, and people like them, who give back so humbly. Makes one believe in goodness and hope in a world, otherwise, full of greed and selfishness.
Whether charity or philanthropy, too often it begins at home and ends at home. Businesses set up charitable foundations that help their own ilk with a little something going to those in need, to justify their existence. I may sound cynical but I have come across instances of these.
One foundation to note for its remarkable work in north Karnataka is the Sandur Kushala Kala Kendra set up by the royal Ghorpade family in north Karnataka. They work among the Lambani community, equipping women with skills for livelihoods, reviving art and craft and promoting entrepreneurship. The products that are made are finding wider and wider markets. I've met some staff from here and plan to visit the centre one of these days.

Thank you Tarun.

Thank you for bringing to the notice of readers another foundation. There could be many that we know not.
