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

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.
