}}'''Puraskaar Foundation''' is an [[Indian]] non-profit educational NGO, founded on 23 April 2021 by Gautam Kumar. It was brought into existence during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the whole point was to provide free, and good learning to students from different backgrounds, even when things were not simple.
