What happened
A week of rain. A children's home in ruins.
वादळे येती म्हणून दीप विझत नसतात; हात पुढे सरसावले की अंधार हरत असतो.
For years, the Punarutthan Samarasata Gurukulam has been more than a school — it is a home. Nearly 400 children from the Pardhi, Waddar and other nomadic and denotified communities live, study and grow here, under the lifelong work of Padma Shri Dr. Girish Prabhune. Last week, days of unrelenting rain across Pimpri-Chinchwad sent water pouring through the premises, badly damaging the building and the children's living quarters.
We didn't wait. The moment we learned of it, members of the Raosaheb Charitable Trust reached the Gurukulam with the most urgent essentials — water motor pumps, heavy-duty cables and electric boards — to get power and water moving again.
But that is only the first step. The damage is deep. Rebuilding the structure, restoring safe housing for the students, and returning their daily life to normal will take far more than emergency supplies. With the institution's permission, we're asking for your help — so the lamp of learning for these 400 children burns bright again.
