Dr. Prachi Patil
Born in a family of freedom fighters, Dr. Prachi inherited the legacy of social services from her maternal family which was strengthened by her parents Mrs. Madhavi & Mr. Ankushrao More (ex-labor commissioner) and supported by her husband MLC Mr. Narendra Annasaheb Patil. Being a practitioner in the urban locality of Navi Mumbai, Dr. Prachi is an established dental surgeon since 2001. Having received many accolades and certifications nationally / internationally Dr. Prachi N Patil is successfully running her dental practice at pranadentalcare.com.
While visiting her village along with her mother-in-law late Smt. Vatsalatai Patil for cultural festivals, she got the opportunity to interact with the rural ladies and felt the dire need to work for their upliftment and in turn for society.
Working even before officially registering the NGO Dr. Prachi is associated with social activities like cultural programs for women, educational scholarships for children, sustainable projects toward a healthy environment, and many other social causes since 2014.
Observing her work in the rural area, the urban Mathadi worker ladies and underprivileged women from Navi Mumbai also requested her to start her work in Navi Mumbai. Responding to their precise need she worked for their economical upliftment through small-scale business.
