Pradev Foundation began in 2016 with a memory—and a promise.
Devendra Palresha, inspired by the quiet kindness of his late father, Thanmalji Palresha, started feeding the homeless outside Shiv Mandir in Yerwada. It was the same place his father once served food with his own hands.
It was never just about food.
It was about care, dignity, and shared humanity.
What began as a heartfelt tribute has grown into a movement grounded in love and service.
