About Prahar
PRAHAR (pronounced as ‘प्रहर’ which means ‘gatekeeper’) stands for Public Response Against Helplessness and Action for Redressal.
As evident from the name itself, PRAHAR attempts to address ‘Helplessness’ which citizens experience, as they struggle with their everyday lives and may find themselves unable to address all alone. Started in 1995, by a group of ex-armed forces personnel, PRAHAR is a non-commercial organization dedicated towards finding solutions for problems of the helpless. We are particularly focused on issues with larger public ramifications- which if not addressed, can have far reaching consequences affecting masses and larger sections of the population.
Vision
PRAHAR visions to connect with the society and follow the pulse of the nation.
Helplessness could be triggered by rapidly changing environment, sudden unemployment, unexpected medical crisis, cheating, exploitation at the hands of those in a monopolistic or opportune position, or regulatory oversights.
A key character of helplessness is that they cannot always be fought alone. PRAHAR collaborates with supporters, influencers, donors and like-minded people to provide direction, voice and resources to seek solutions to these problems.
In operation for the last 6 years, PRAHAR has undertaken campaigns against several issues of public interest, converting them into national level actionable items.
