Mr. Subhash Mendhapurkar
Fonder and Director
“SUTRA was founded to act as a ‘conscious keeper’ of society. In order to achieve that, we needed to establish our credibility first which was done through service provision model, and then we started acting as Conscious Keepers by raising number of issues that affect Gender Equity”
Subhash Mendharpurkar grew up in the slums of Pune in an asset-less family. He later studied at university where he obtained a Postgraduate certificate in Community Development.
After working as a free-lance journalist and lecturer in undergraduate colleges, he founded SUTRA with the support of other NGOs in 1977.
