Why Pratijnya Foundation

Pratijnya Foundation is the registered name of Pledge Foundation which was incorporated in the year 2021 under section 8 of Companies Act, 2013.

We started our work in August 2020 under the brand name - “Pledge Foundation” but since policy changes for non-profit registration we had to continue with the name - “Pratijnya” which itself means “Promise”.

Our brand and the registration name i.e. “Pledge” and “Pratijnya” serve the purpose of “Promise” of serving the community and the planet that we live on.
