Amidst challenges posed by COVID-19 pandemic, Punya Foundation went creative and managed to give continuity to some of the projects. To keep our volunteers, donors and target population safe, we had to withhold some of our national and international projects. Please click here for the report. The major highlights of year 2020 are,
