Pragya is all about spreading cheer and Wellness around in the social milieu. It adheres to the spirit of universal brotherhood and treats common man as a celebrity. It is the voice of awakening…of the inner self. Evolving lifestyles and changing mindsets with its niche and pioneering presence in Wellness. Its Wellness journey begins with nurturing positive perceptions and continues towards Complete Wellness of every individual empowering him to lead a better and healthier life.

Bandhan is an initiative of Pragya Trust.Pragya Trust is a platform created for the masses and committed to a social and noble cause to reach out and show a ray of hope to humanity at large. The Trust is committed to assisting & aiding the deprived underprivileged populace and those who are unable to move on in life owing to a growing imbalance.

Bandhan is a sincere attempt to bridge the gap between Old aged people and orphaned children who are the most deprived of love and compassion which is their birthright. Through this bonding we are trying to breathe a fresh wave of hope, love and compassion into their lives.

Old and the young came together on Saturday, 12th Feb. in Vridh Sewa Ashram, Anand Niketan, C-5, Sec-55, Noida - 201301. Bandhan has been conceived to create family bonding between Aged people and Orphanage kids who came together and spent some moments of joy. The old got an opportunity to relive their second childhood and share their feelings while the children basked in the parental love showered on them.

To join Pragya in their mission, there were two volunteers from completely diverse fields a motivational speaker and India’s youngest Tarot Card reader and hypnotherapist. A lot of interesting and fun filled activities built an emotional bonding between the two generations.

We found the aged and children participated in the activities with full enthusiasm. Although only for a few hours, the compassion they shared with each other while dancing, singing and participating in fun filled activities was a joy to witness.

Speaking on the initiative, Meena Tiwari, Managing Director said, “Through Pragya Trust, I want to serve the global community and make a meaningful difference in their lives. There is a good self hidden in each one of us. We simply need to awaken it. I strongly believe that only an awakened self can create an awakened society. I was touched to see how, although for a little while, we were able to spread smiles and create a feeling of wellness, love, compassion and harmony around through Bandhan.”
