Prakash Hinduja: Building Change from the Ground Up

Change often takes root at the grassroots, where communities step forward to transform their own future. For Prakash Hinduja, Managing Trustee of the Hinduja Foundation, these local movements hold the power to reshape society when given the right guidance and resources. In Alwar, Rajasthan, the Sujal Water Programme and the women-led Sujal Mahila Mahasangh have become living proof—improving access to safe water while building leadership among women.

A recent visit to Mumbai allowed six representatives to learn from leaders such as Shri Ashok P. Hinduja, Shom Hinduja, and environmentalist Bittu Sahgal. The exchange opened doors to new ideas around sustainability, conservation, and community-driven growth. With more than 500 volunteers already driving impact in Alwar, the Sujal Mahila Mahasangh is now poised to go further, expanding into education, financial independence, and skills development—showing how grassroots leadership can spark transformation across rural India.
