Brief History of our Organisation
Prachi Youth Social Organisation (PYSO) came into being by a group of educated young people in the 1991-92 who wanted to do some social good in their own locality. Thus in the initial years they undertook some development work albeit unsystematically. But their good intention showed immediate results and they received unqualified support from the local population. Encouraged by this overwhelming response from the local people they decided to make the programme more widespread. This to make their activities more visible and acceptable . it was decided to get the organisation registered under the relevant acts.
Thus the organisation was registered under the Indian Societies Registration Act, 1860, (Act of XXI). Subsequently in order to have access to overseas funding the organisation was also registered under FCRA 1976.
