I S S U E :

Hi Friends and well wishers of Punya,

A little dedicated time spent really useful for others

without any personal gain, a pure heartwarming feeling for

the needy in whatever way I can. Yes, this is something

that I was longing to do for years. Of course, time did not

permit. But when will I do if I don't do it now. Got to

know about Punya more than a year back from my office

colleague Karthick. Read through website and felt

inspirational to contribute through Punya.

Last quarter, Punya executed couple of projects in

Bangalore and Mumbai.In Mumbai Punya provided educational

assistance to yet another deserving candidate for his

college studies.

Today I have that golden and saintly opportunity looking

into the needs of others and feel contented in my life that

I am worth something. I get information on all the

voluntary activities and the creative moves the active

members make to achieve useful things for the society.

That's a lot of learning. Thanks to each

and everyone in the Punya team. I am proud to be a part of

this guy.

Thanks and Regards,

Regina Grace

Lead Volunteer

Chennai Punya Team

2. Registration with Income Tax Department of India.

Punya Charitable Trust has now got registered with the Income Tax Department of India as per the IT

act of 1961. The Income Tax Act, 1961, is applicable to Voluntary Organizations which are engaged in

public charitable activity. Hence, Voluntary Organizations which carry out socio-development

efforts of Mr. Vinod Singhi in making this happen. Also a special mention of Charted Accountant Mr.

Gopal and Team who helped and guided us through the entire legal process and documentation. Their

support was truly laudable. A Big Thank you from the entire Punya community.

3. Educational Scholarship Projects

We seldom think of those little children who cannot afford to go to school or dream of a future. We

seldom think of their lost childhood. A little effort on our behalf can give them access to education,

and a prosperous future. Punya's sponsorship program has helped many deserving students to pursue

their education. Punya plans to continue this efforts of spreading education and making a long

lasting difference.

Taking care of others or serving as a caregiver can be particularly challenging, sometimes lonely, and even

exhausting. Our dear young friend Karthick does this all the way with a never ending smile on his face and

a keen seriousness and meaningfulness in whatever he does. It was Karthick who intiated the Blind School

project and went to analyze every bit of detail in this. His systematic step by step approach and

involvement was clearly seen in the note books distribution project to the students at a Village Panchayat

school, past Chengleput. The children will be really thankful for all those study aids granted at an

appropriate time. He always seeks to creative ways to help others and stays socially involved. He has a

constant desire to find out ways of the different services that can be offered to the needy. He is a

wonderful singer and hope sometime or other our Punya team will get an opportunity to lend a ear to that

enticing voice of his.
