Sonagachi, Kolkata : Project Udaan, a transformative initiative, made headlines as it hosted a significant event in Sonagachi, Kolkata. Led by Revered Swami Shraddhananda Ji and Sri Vikas Pasari, the event aimed to empower young girls who have faced hardships in the sex trade.
Started in 2012, Project Udaan’s Udaan Tutorial School has been dedicated to supporting girls aged 6-18 years, offering them education, health awareness, and a path to reintegrate into society.
