PSF Mumbai Steps Up for Chikhali Demolition Victims

In response to the large-scale demolitions in Chikhali, Pimpri-Chinchwad, which left nearly 1 lakh workers jobless, PSF Mumbai stepped forward to provide urgent assistance to those affected. As part of our commitment to social welfare and humanitarian aid, we contributed Rs. 25,000 towards a food drive to help some of the most severely impacted workers and their families.

The Crisis in Chikhali

The demolition drive carried out by the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) resulted in the loss of numerous small businesses, including scrap shops and warehouses. Many daily wage earners and small business owners found themselves in an extremely vulnerable situation, struggling to meet basic needs such as food and shelter.

PSF Mumbai’s Immediate Response

Understanding the gravity of the crisis, PSF Mumbai quickly mobilized resources to contribute to a food drive benefiting affected workers and their families. This initiative was carried out in coordination with local volunteers who ensured that the food reached those most in need.

Impact of Our Support

• Provided immediate food relief to struggling families.
• Helped ensure nutritious meals for those left without a source of income.
• Reinforced our commitment to social responsibility and standing in solidarity with communities in distress.

Looking Ahead

PSF Mumbai has a long-standing commitment to social service and humanitarian aid. Alongside emergency relief efforts, we also run two major charity initiatives:

• Neki Basket: A welfare initiative focused on food and dry ration distribution. Our kitchens at Jogeshwari Khadan Basti and Ambujwadi Malad serve 10 meals per month per location, distributing approximately 100 food packets per meal to those in need. Over the past three years, we have distributed a total of 33,368+ food packets, benefiting 170+ families. Learn more and contribute at www.nekibasket.org.
• Kafalat: A project dedicated to supporting the education of underprivileged children, particularly orphans and those from financially struggling families. The initiative has helped over 200 students across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and suburban areas. This year alone, Kafalat has provided educational assistance to 190 students, ensuring that financial hardships do not hinder their access to quality education.

We encourage individuals and organizations to explore these projects and contribute to making a lasting impact on the lives of those in need. Together, we can build a stronger and more compassionate society.*

We urge individuals and organizations to join us in our mission to extend relief to those in need. 

Together, we can make a difference.
