Union Minister Nitin Gadkari launches Prabha Khaitan Foundation's website

The website was launched virtually.

Prabha Khaitan Foundation (PKF), a Kolkata-based registered public charitable trust set up in 2000, is one of India’s leading social welfare organisations engaged in various social welfare causes for women, children and the elderly. 

Lauding late Indian novelist-poet-entrepreneur Prabha Khaitan, on whose name the foundation has been created, Gadkari said, "Prabha Khaitan in her life had worked with social responsibility in various fields. Her mission was only working for people in life.

"It is our duty to help all those who are helpless in our society."

"Prabha Khaitan had worked for women empowerment in art and culture and literature. She had tried to make her life sustainable by developing her talents. I am happy that her works are carried forward by the foundation which has been created in the name of Prabha Khaitan," he added.

Speaking on women empowerment, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways said, "Women have the same rights as that of men. Men and women should be economically and socially equal. We should create a society where there should be no discrimination on the basis of caste, ideology, religion, language and sex.

"We want to make such an Atmanirbhar Bharat where there should be no discrimination on the basis of caste, ideology, religion, language and sex. Organisations like Prabha Khaitan Foundation will bring about changes in the society. I believe we will achieve the goal one day."

 Ms Apra Kuchhal, Ehsaas woman and Honorary convener, Rajasthan and central India affairs of Prabha Khaitan Foundation, said: "PKF is an innovator of various boutique literary events to promote literature, writings, art, wildlife conservation and culture. We undertake collaborative literature and cultural activity and projects with many Universities and like-minded people across the globe."

"The Foundation's women initiative Ehsaas Women is a conglomeration of women from all walks of life who act as galvanising agents. We feel that culture is at the heart of development policy and it constitutes an essential investment in the world's future. Late Dr Prabha Khaitan's vision for a better tomorrow guides us," she said

Manisha Jain, Communication and Branding Chief, Prabha Khaitan Foundation, said: "The Prabha Khaitan Foundation website highlights our effort to uphold the cultural capital of the country and promote Indian culture and literature in India and overseas.

"Literature, culture and heritage, basic education, women empowerment and social welfare are the five pillars of inspiration for the Foundation. Nearly 1000 initiatives spanning 35 cities in the world are listed on the website. It also hosts the monthly newsletters which are interactive and gives the visitor access to our events and articles by noteworthy names."

PKF is also one of the leading private organisations to promote Indian art, culture, literature, and folk heritage within and outside the country, often in collaboration with like-minded Indian and foreign organisations.

PKF also has branded boutique literary and social events like An Author's Afternoon, The Write Circle, EkMulakat, Lafz, Tete-a-Tea and others which provide a platform to eminent and aspiring writers, artists and performers.
