President Note
I heard about Ekal FTS and its activities in 2015 and got an opportunity to associate with. Initially I was acting as Treasurer to the Executive Committee till Oct 2022.
I personally witnessed the charismatic power of the Ekal Movement during the Van Yatra in 2016. The Sanskar education through Ekal Vidyalayas enhances the lives of Tribal students. The formation of the FTS Yuva Samity in Pune in October 2022 brought a new energy into me, making me a respected person among the Pune communities. Now, in 2024, I am honored and humbled to continue leading this vibrant group. This incredible opportunity reaffirms my belief that everything happens for a reason, and I am committed to rising to the challenges as the founding President, laying a robust foundation for the Yuva Samity to soar to greater heights in the future.
The Pune Yuva Samity is blessed with an immensely supportive Executive Committee and Mahila Samiti. With their unwavering support, every project feels grand and achievable. Ekal FTS is doing remarkable work for the tribals, which brings an extremely satisfying feeling. I am confident that our shared vision to empower the underprivileged and uplift our nation will continue to inspire and unite us. Ekal Pranam! Jai Hind ! Vande Mataram.
