Apart from food distribution, the Trust also focuses on various social welfare activities, including girls’ education, women’s empowerment and support for persons with disabilities.

These efforts aim to promote education, dignity, inclusivity and equal opportunities for underprivileged sections of society.
Through its continued humanitarian initiatives, Purushottam Das Rungta Charitable Trust is working to strengthen the spirit of service, cooperation and compassion in society. It also aims to encourage collective participation in building a more inclusive and humane society.
