Parivaar

What Parivaar does

Parivaar Education Society is a privately funded humanitarian non-profit founded in 2003 in West Bengal, India, operating 21+ years of service to destitute and vulnerable tribal populations. Its operations span four Indian states — West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand — and encompass six core programs: six residential institutions housing 3,700+ children; 1,139 Seva Kutirs (supplementary education and nutrition centers) serving 70,000+ tribal children; 55 Mobile Medical Clinics covering 2,910 villages in 24 districts; 83 free 24x7 ambulances across 22 districts; a Vision Restoration Program (88,000+ surgeries in 5 years); and an Enablement Mission facilitating access to government welfare schemes. Specialized programs include artificial-limb camps (in partnership with Mahavir Seva Sadan) and an Anaemia Mitigation Programme (with Shrimad Rajchandra Sarvamangal Trust).

The organization has no proprietary technology platform. Its infrastructure is operations-based: a grassroots workforce of thousands of Sevavratees (field workers/v volunteers) embedded in remote tribal villages, a fleet of physical vehicles and clinics, and residential campuses. A WordPress website (parivaar.org), Facebook, and YouTube channels serve as the primary digital presence. Technology is provided by partners where used (e.g., SRST's mobile application for anaemia screening data management).

Parivaar's business model is donation- and CSR-funded, with all services delivered free of cost to beneficiaries. Funding comes from individual donors, corporate CSR partnerships (e.g., Coal India for infrastructure), and NGOs/trusts (e.g., Shrimad Rajchandra Sarvamangal Trust, Shri Sadguru Seva Sangh Trust, Mahavir Seva Sadan). The organization holds 12A, 80G, and FCRA registrations, enabling domestic tax-deductible and foreign contributions. Founder Vinayak Lohani received the Padma Shri in 2025. The organization is governed by a Governing Body and Advisory Board, with no parent company or external ownership.
