Mumbai, June 13, 2025 — Vipla Foundation has been awarded the NGO Impact Award for Best Impact at the Maha CSR Summit 2025, in recognition of its transformative work in the field of Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE). The award was received by the foundation’s CEO, Pramod Nigudkar, at a ceremony attended by leaders from the development, corporate, and government sectors.
The award acknowledges Vipla Foundation’s impactful two-pronged ECCE model, which includes the establishment of over 50 model Balwadis in underserved communities and a comprehensive teacher training and mentoring program across government-run Balwadis and Anganwadis.
To date, the initiative has reached more than 100,000 children and 200,000 parents and educators, reflecting a scalable approach that integrates grassroots interventions with systemic capacity building.
“This recognition is a testament to the power of partnerships and the collective effort of our team, donors, and collaborators,” said Pramod Nigudkar. “At Vipla Foundation, we believe every child deserves the right foundation, and this award strengthens our resolve to continue investing in early learning and development.”
The Maha CSR Summit is a leading platform that celebrates innovation and measurable impact in corporate social responsibility and development initiatives across Maharashtra and beyond.
Vipla Foundation extended its gratitude to its network of government bodies, corporate partners, and dedicated team members whose ongoing support has made this recognition possible.
