Helping underprivileged girls in their education

दायित्व

Triveni’s primary objective is to promote social interactions amongst the Marathi community within Greater Cincinnati area. In order to advance towards this objective, 2024 committee came up with a 3-pronged agenda around दायित्व, सहभाग आणि स्वास्थ्य. During 2025 we organized events and projects such as monthly yog sessions and 5K runs, blood donation drive, temple pooja, quarterly newsletter, visit to Greater Cincinnati Water Works, CPR trainings and seminar on heart health. These were focused on सहभाग आणि स्वास्थ्य.

To promote the culture of दायित्व, we continued the food shelter drive with renewed focus and brought in some changes in the program. This is of course Triveni’s small contribution to our community here in US. We also felt that there is a need to make similar contributions for our society back in Maharashtra. We did a fundraiser for Rachana Society for Social Reconstruction in 2024. We are continuing with that effort in 2025 with this year's fundraiser for Rachana.

Contribute to rural girls' education

Rachana society (https://rachanasociety.org.in/) runs a hostel, school and several other initiatives to empower girls and women from the remote areas around Pune.

To support Rachana's efforts, Triveni Mitra Mandal will provide funding support in 2025. This funding support will be based on donations made by our community. We urge all families in Triveni community to donate generously towards this good cause. This fundraising drive will continue from now onwards until the end of the year and we will have special focus on fundraising during some of our upcoming events.

Rachana’s program supports girl children and women from remote rural areas in Bhor taluka in Maharashtra. Rachana was confronted with the issue of high school dropouts in villages located in hilly isolated mountains & did not have schools after 4th grade or 7th grade. These areas are very difficult to reach, poor parents cannot afford transportation cost, some children have to walk anywhere between 2-12 km to reach a school and in most cases there are no schools after 4th or 7th grade.

Rachana Society provides hostel facility to girl children. This hostel is located in Panshet village and currently supports around 60 girls.

How did Triveni's 2024 fundraiser help?

At present, 60 girls are enrolled in the hostel for the academic year 2025–2026, studying from 4th to 12th Standard.

With the support of Triveni Mitra Mandal, the following activities have been undertaken for the hostel girls.

Nutritious Food Intake

To ensure the health and well-being of the girls, nutritious snacks are provided regularly. Special energy laddoos made from peanuts, coconut, dates, and jaggery are prepared and distributed. In addition, milk and bananas are given to further improve health, strengthen immunity, and boost energy levels.

Computer Education for Girls

As planned, 14 girls have enrolled in the MS-CIT Government Computer Course. The admission process has been completed, and the girls from 11th and 12th Standard (Junior College) started attending classes conducted by Vidya Computer Institute, Khanapur, where they also pursue their regular college studies.

The classes are scheduled from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m., and the students will appear for their final examination in December 2025. This course will significantly enhance their computer literacy and improve their employability in the future.

Other Ongoing Hostel Activities

1. Educational Support
Regular online and offline study sessions are conducted to assist the girls in their academics. Subjects include Science, Mathematics, Commerce, English, and Marathi.

2. Holistic Development (Gurukul Activity)
For girls studying from 4th to 7th Standard, special sessions are conducted under the Gurukul activity. These sessions strengthen the foundation of all subjects and initiate the process of integrated development education.

3. Extra-Curricular Activities
To support the holistic growth of the girls, a variety of extra-curricular activities are organized, such as:

Sports
Handicraft making
Library use
Personality development sessions
Yoga and physical exercise
Conversational English
Marathi reading and writing practice

Output

These initiatives are enabling the hostel girls to grow not only academically but also physically, socially, and emotionally. The comprehensive support system is contributing meaningfully to their all-round development and preparing them for a brighter future.
