Social Outreach

Sunil supports the board of Tara Mobile Creches Pune (TMCP), which works to provide a just and caring world for young children of marginalized populations to enable them to develop into competent and confident individuals.

TMCP’s objectives revolve around ensuring that every child enjoys his or her basic rights, which have been embraced and adopted by the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

These include the right to grow up and to develop physically and spiritually in a healthy and normal way, free and with dignity, the right to a name and nationality, the right to special care and protection, even if differently abled, and to good food, housing, and medical services, the right to love and understanding, preferably from parents and family, but from the government where these cannot help, the right to go to school for free, to play, and to have an equal chance to develop, to be responsible and useful, and the right to always be among the first to get help and be protected against cruel acts or exploitation.

Sunil works closely with Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital, which is the largest eye hospital in the eastern region of India and provides affordable, accessible, sustainable, quality curative and preventive eye care services to the low-income, indigent rural people of Bihar and some of the most deprived areas of India. 

Akhand Jyoti focuses on restoring sight and thereby restoring incomes and livelihood for millions of affected individuals. The organization also aims to make a broader societal impact by empowering and training a new generation of women in what is traditionally a very patriarchal society to help spread the influence of this initiative by training them as professional optometrists.
