Marwah Studios Join Hands With Prayatn

Bhawani educational and children care society’s Prayatn is a social voluntary non-profit making registered organisation established in 1999, which is jointly and enthusiastically working nationwide for the upliftment of the deprived disabled, underprivileged and BPL children / people who are considered as a perpetual curse by their own kith and kin and then by the society.

“The present state of disabled in India is not very pleasing and the future too appears to be absolutely dark and bleak” said Sandeep Marwah president Marwah Studios and now the patron of ‘Prayatn’. “The disabled in the society is not treated as human being. They are considered as a perpetual curse by the community. The existing attitude of masses is increasingly isolating them from the main stream of society, until all concerned awaken and do some-thing to alter the present conditions and earnestly look after the interests of the disabled children” Marwah added while talking to the national press and media students at Asian Academy of Film and Television [AAFT].

“BECCS realized that with little intensive efforts these children and people could be a normal and self reliant citizen of a country in all means (i.e. socially, economically, physically and morally) we took a step in this direction as considering it is our social and moral responsibility to ameliorate the sufferings of the children.” Said Brijesh the president of the society.ICFF International Children's Film Forum will also support this cause.
