Founder’s Message
A Movement, Not Just an Organisation
Praja Sarathi was founded by Dr. Ashwin Kumar on a belief that every individual deserves dignity, opportunity, and support. We are not merely an organisation — we are a movement of citizens who believe that small, consistent acts of service can transform entire communities.
Across India, we listen first, act with integrity, and invite every willing hand to join us. Together we can educate, empower, and elevate the lives around us.
“The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.”— Mahatma Gandhi
