The Prashanti Educational and Welfare Society, Ujjain, is an NGO that helps people by facilitating education, health, and social care. It is a non-political, city-based non-profit organization that strengthens its beneficiaries mainly in Ujjain, a city of Madhya Pradesh, by concentrating on children, women, and poor families. We try our best to ensure that everyone learns and grows.
Many of the challenges faced by children and adults are rampant in the rural sections of society. Schools are either nonexistent or do not function properly, and food and means of livelihood are also scarce. That is where we fit in. Supporting programs, training, and learning centers are set up for a better living of their lives.
Our Vision and Mission for Ujjain
We believe it is the right of every individual to learn and to live well. To this end, the Prashanti Educational and Welfare Society, Ujjain, seeks to create a world in the future where no one is left behind. One such vision is to:
- Provide children with free or low-cost education.
- Train youth and women for jobs or self-employment.
- Organize health and wellness camps for needy families.
- Support communities through various social and welfare activities.

Helping Children Learn and Grow
We have schools and tuition centers for those kids who cannot afford formal education. These centers are safe places for them to learn and play. We teach them the three R’s–reading, writing, and arithmetic; then we also teach drawing, music, and sports.
Classes are full of fun, stories, games, and songs to keep children excited about learning every single day.
