Since the year 2000, the girls’ school “Pardad-Pardadi Educational Society” (PPES) has been actively working on the improvement of the living conditions of the girls living in a rural environment.  It enables them to get free education and strengthens their position in society. The school has been founded by Virender (Sam) Singh, native of the village Anupshahar. With the creation of this institution, Mr. Singh wanted  to destroy the vicious circle of poverty by allowing society’s most vulnerable members (namely girls) to take control of their destiny.
