She is more than a little Girl. She is learning to be empowered.

This is the picture on the pack of the ‘Laadli' translated into English as 'most loving & pampered': Sanitary Napkins manufactured by a team of 4 diligent and smart girl graduates of PPES.

The colors are synonymous with the uniform that every PPES girl wears to school. Why Yellow and Green??

This is a thought running through your mind when you know that Pardada Pardadi has reasons and good ones too behind every goal it takes up.

Sam, PPES founder, says that the seeds when sown develop into green plants, they turn yellow when ripe. Drawing from the analogy, PPES girls come as little ones and pass out as empowered ones.

The girl riding the bicycle knows where she is heading. A world free from Gender inequality & one where she has a ‘say’, where her dreams are realized………….



Let’s buck her up!!!

The serene view of the river Ganges is just a km away from the school.This part of the Ganges is one of the very few that’s untouched by religious commercialization.

So, you get to feel the tranquility of the Holy view without being pressed by touts or overwhelmed by the crowd.

When you take a Boat ride, you have just a couple more boats on the river with you. You got to experience the beauty still preserved by the locals there.

In evenings, local women circle around the bay and chant hymns and lit the holy flame. The gongs from the nearby temples orchestrate their songs.
If you are coming to meet the PPES girls, the Holy Ganges is one of the places where we take our visitors to.

Some things are best left untold: the visit to the Ganges is just one of them. You get to experience it with your eyes to indulge in the ineffable ride to a deeply enriching spiritual experience.

So when are you coming??

The Women’s Day was a house full of activities!



March 8 every year holds a special meaning for PPES. Our girls were happily summoning the day as “The Mahila Diwas” in Hindi and English too.

Ms. Poonam Natarajan, Chairperson, National Trust, was the chief guest for the event.



Sandhya, the woman behind Dismania and Chitra, the social activist added more meaning by being there with the girls.

So, what did the girls have in store for us?

Well, there were field games, dance show, a song especially penned down for PPES by the girls, and folk anecdotes.


The men teachers took charge of the kitchen and catering. And they proved equally good at that with the nice meals they brought from the hot kitchen. Just that the tea had salt instead of sugar for an unusual change.



The girls listened rivetingly to Ms. Natrajan’s speech. She told personal stories of courage and inspiration.

What an amazing and fun packed day the PPES students had for us.Hurray!!
