Sakal Relief Fund: A Lifeline for Disaster Victims in Pune and Beyond

Sakal Relief Fund, established in 1943, is a Pune-based non-governmental organization dedicated to providing immediate and sustainable support to victims of natural and man-made disasters across India. Over the decades, the organization has been at the forefront of disaster response, offering aid during events such as the Panshet Dam flood in 1961, the Marathwada earthquake in 1993, and the Gujarat earthquake in 2001. Their efforts encompass providing essential supplies, medical assistance, and facilitating rehabilitation projects. For instance, following the 1993 Marathwada earthquake, Sakal Relief Fund collected ₹12.8 million to renovate seven schools and construct hostels for affected children.

In recent years, the organization has continued its mission by supporting flood-affected regions in Maharashtra and offering scholarships to students impacted by natural calamities. Their commitment to disaster resilience and community support remains unwavering, reflecting their vision of a safer and disaster-resilient India.
