About Our Samiti
United for Dignity & Welfare of Pensioners
Pragatishil Pensioners Kalyan Samiti (PPKS) is a collective movement of retired dedicated professionals committed to supporting each other in the golden years of life.
A Journey of Resilience
PPKS was founded in the heart of Kanpur by a group of visionary retired government employees who realized that while they had retired from service, their commitment to society and their need for a community remained stronger than ever.
Starting with just a handful of members meeting in a small community hall, we have grown into a registered organisation serving thousands of pensioners across different departments including Railways, Defense, and Civil Services.
