People Say about our foundation

“ "Before Pragati Foundation, we thought our art would die with us. But now, seeing the next generation of children learning and performing Gulabo Sitabo gives us hope. Our art will live on." “

Mr. Naushad a master puppeteer

“ "Being part of Jashn-e-Raqs was an unforgettable experience. For me, it wasn’t just a competition; it was a celebration of our heritage, a way to connect with our ancestors through dance." “

Aditi participant

“ "Working with Couture for a Cause changed my life. Before, I was just someone who stitched clothes to survive. Now, I feel like an artist whose work is appreciated. My sarees are no longer just fabric—they are stories, they are art." “
