In Pune city, there are over 500 vastis (slum areas), each facing its own set of challenges and conflicts. These communities struggle with multiple issues, such as limited access to education, poor healthcare, and exposure to negative influences. Growing up in such environments without proper guidance and support often makes it difficult for children to differentiate between right and wrong. This has a significant impact on their emotional, social, and physical development, hindering their ability to reach their full potential.
To address these challenges, Swanand started work in 2016 through a structured Vasti Vikas Prakalp, to provide value-based education and holistic development for children aged 4–18, fostering leadership, self-realization, and overall health & wellbeing. All these project are alignment with NEP 2020's NIPUN Bharat Mission.

Our vision at Swanand Jankalyan Pratishthan is to put all our efforts into bridging the gap among various sections of society and bringing equality in the communities through various upliftment programs for underprivileged communities by providing structured development programs and platforms. We aim to create social harmony through a unique development model.
Focus on the social and cultural development of children the age of 4 to 12 years through well-organized and well-structured ‘Samruddhi Varg', as we believe this is the right age to inculcate values like changing attitudes, habits, behavioral aspects, and learning skills through persistent and consistent efforts.
Create a mentoring and counseling structure for working with children and adolescents, providing hand holding through experts and professionals via our Kishor Darpan Project.
Organize social events, functions, gatherings, and camps to provide handshake opportunities and cultural exchanges for all sections of society to bridge the gap aligned with our vision.
