Our Story, Mission, and Commitment to Building a Stronger India
PRERNA is a dynamic and compassionate NGO founded with a singular vision: to build a stronger, more equitable India. We believe that real change begins at the grassroots level, which is why our initiatives span across education, nutrition, environmental sustainability, and community development.
What started as a dream to transform government school education has evolved into a multi-faceted organization touching thousands of lives across Kanpur and beyond. Through our various verticals—SAF Education Initiative, Satvik Roti Rolls, MLA Green Kanpur, and MLA City Tours—we address critical social challenges with innovative, sustainable solutions.
Our team comprises dedicated volunteers, experienced educators, environmental activists, and community leaders who share a common goal: creating lasting positive impact. We work tirelessly to ensure that every child has access to quality education, every hungry person receives nutritious food, and our environment is protected for future generations.
To empower communities through quality education, sustainable practices, and comprehensive social welfare programs that create lasting change and opportunity for all.
A stronger India where every individual has access to quality education, nutritious food, a clean environment, and the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Integrity, compassion, innovation, sustainability, and community empowerment guide everything we do. We believe in transparent, accountable, and impactful social work.
Since our inception, PRERNA has touched the lives of thousands of individuals across Kanpur. Through the Sumit Agarwal Foundation (SAF), we've adopted 7 government schools, providing quality education to over 1,000 students who previously lacked access to proper learning resources.
Our Satvik Roti Rolls initiative distributes over 1,500 nutritious meals daily to underprivileged communities, ensuring that hunger doesn't stand in the way of anyone's potential. Meanwhile, MLA Green Kanpur is transforming our city's landscape, planting trees, creating green spaces, and fostering environmental consciousness.
But our impact goes beyond numbers. It's in the smile of a child who can now read and write, the gratitude of a family receiving a warm meal, and the pride of a community seeing their neighborhood turn green. This is what drives us forward every day.
Founder, PRERNA & Sumit Agarwal Foundation (SAF)
Sumit Agarwal is a passionate social entrepreneur and community leader whose belief in grassroots change has shaped PRERNA into the impactful organization it is today. His journey began with a simple question: why do children in government schools receive less than they deserve?
From transforming school education through SAF, to feeding thousands daily through Satvik Roti Rolls, to planting trees across Kanpur with MLA Green — every initiative traces back to Sumit's conviction that one person's commitment can spark a movement.
Under his leadership, PRERNA has touched over 50,000 lives and continues to grow as a beacon of hope, service, and sustainable change across Uttar Pradesh.
