Background
Smt. Heera Devi Nirala was born on 15 June 1969 in Sarangarh, Chhattisgarh, India. From an early age, she demonstrated a deep sense of compassion and a strong desire to serve the most vulnerable members of society. Her commitment to inclusive education and dignified care for the elderly became the guiding principles of her life — eventually leading her to establish an organisation that has since made a lasting difference in the lives of hundreds of individuals and families across the Sarangarh-Bilaigarh district.
Pranjal Welfare Foundation
Pranjal Welfare Foundation is a non-governmental organisation established in June 2006 and fully operational since 2011. Based in Sarangarh, Sarangarh-Bilaigarh District, Chhattisgarh — PIN 496445 — the foundation is dedicated to providing specialised education and care for vulnerable populations, with an emphasis on transparent operations and community-driven welfare.
Since becoming fully operational in 2011, the foundation has built a proven track record of navigating local government advocacy, structured NGO management and community outreach. It has transitioned to professionalised digital record-keeping and has been actively expanding its operational infrastructure to sustain and widen its social impact.
Services and Initiatives
Specialised Residential School
One of the flagship initiatives of Pranjal Welfare Foundation is the administration of a specialised residential school for children with unique educational needs. The school provides a nurturing, structured and inclusive learning environment — ensuring that every child, regardless of ability, has access to quality education, care and the opportunity to develop to their full potential. The residential nature of the school ensures that children from distant or disadvantaged backgrounds have consistent access to education and support.
Siyaan Sadan — Old Age Home
Siyaan Sadan is the foundation's dedicated care facility for the elderly — a warm and dignified old age home that provides shelter, care and companionship to senior citizens who are in need of support. The facility reflects Smt. Heera Devi Nirala's deep belief that every elderly person deserves to live with dignity, respect and compassionate care. Siyaan Sadan has become a beacon of hope for elderly individuals in the Sarangarh-Bilaigarh region.
Community Welfare Campaigns
Beyond its residential facilities, Pranjal Welfare Foundation actively conducts community welfare campaigns and social welfare activities across the Sarangarh-Bilaigarh district. These programmes aim to raise awareness, promote social inclusion and address the needs of marginalised and vulnerable communities through grassroots engagement.
Vision and Goals
Smt. Heera Devi Nirala's vision is to create a deeply inclusive society where every child, regardless of ability, has access to quality education, and every elderly person can live with dignity and care. Her ongoing goal is to expand the foundation's infrastructure — including enhanced operational facilities — to sustain and widen the impact of these welfare initiatives across Chhattisgarh and beyond.
