Paschim Pune Bangiya Parishad
One of the key priorities for PPBP since the time of inception was to contribute towards social causes and help the society we live in a better place. We started through yearly donations to Ramakrishna Mission Sanstha. In 2018, PPBP took a conscious decision to either directly execute social projects completely on its own or partake in initiatives by partnering with other organisations or NGOs as a leading contributor. PPBP has always believed in giving support to the society as per the need of the hour.
