Our Story
Maaipratishthan Educational Trust is a heartfelt tribute to the values of gratitude, service, and social responsibility.
Founded by Sharad Pawar, this trust is his way of giving back to society—a society that played a vital role in his journey. It is also a tribute to his grandfather, Laxmanrao Manikrao Pawar, whose values of integrity and resilience continue to inspire. Instead of building monuments, Sharad chose to build futures—ensuring rural children get the education they deserve.
Our Mission
To provide free, high-quality education and holistic development opportunities to rural children, empowering them with the knowledge and skills to build a better future. Beyond education, we aspire to support healthcare, skill development, and rural welfare initiatives to uplift communities.
Our Vision
A future where every child, regardless of financial background, has access to quality education and the resources needed to succeed, contributing to a stronger and more self-sufficient society.
Our Initiatives: Building a Better Future
At Maaipratishthan Educational Trust, we believe that true empowerment comes through education and skill-building. Our initiatives are designed to bridge the educational gap in rural areas, providing children with the opportunities they deserve. Here’s how we are making a difference
Free Quality Education for Rural Children
Education is a basic right, not a privilege. We are committed to providing free, high-quality education to children in rural areas, ensuring they have access to the same CBSE-level curriculum as urban schools. Our goal is to create equal learning opportunities so that every child can dream big and achieve more.
Skill Development Programs
Beyond academics, we focus on practical skill-building to prepare students for real-world challenges. From vocational training to entrepreneurial guidance, we equip young minds with life skills that help them become independent and self-reliant.
Infrastructure Support for Schools
A strong foundation requires the right environment. We work towards improving school infrastructure in rural areas by providing classrooms, libraries, digital learning tools, and essential facilities. Our vision is to transform schools into centers of excellence and innovation.
Scholarships & Mentorship
Many talented children drop out due to financial struggles. Our scholarship programs support meritorious students, ensuring that financial constraints do not stand in the way of their education. Additionally, our mentorship initiatives connect students with experienced professionals, guiding them toward higher education, career paths, and personal growth.
These initiatives are just the beginning. With your support, we aim to expand our efforts and bring hope to even more children and families. Together, we can create a future where every child has the chance to shine.
