About Prayas
Born from a vision to bridge the gap between educated youth and social problems
Our Story
Back in 2004, our Founder & Chairman Mr. Mrinal Kanti Bhanja noticed a common problem: the youth of our country were ignorant of the social problems that exist around them.
He identified two major bottlenecks: social problems aren't portrayed well in bookish knowledge, and there was a lack of platform for proper guidance and execution of ideas regarding existing social problems.
This gap became the cause of birth of Prayas - an organization that started in 2016 with the vision to motivate youth and provide them with a platform to execute their solutions and develop problem-solving skills.
