The Prabha Khaitan Foundation (PKF) is a non-profit trust based in Kolkata, dedicated to socio-cultural welfare and humanitarian causes. Founded by the Late Dr. Prabha Khaitan, its activities focus on literature, culture & heritage, social reforms, education and women empowerment. PKF collaborates with caregivers, committed individuals, and like-minded institutions to implement cultural, educational, literary, and social welfare projects in India and overseas. The foundation supports the UNESCO view that cultural development has the potential to be an alternative way of promoting sustainable development in poor rural communities, particularly in third-world countries. They promote networking among communities to create 'cultural capital', emphasizing language, music, literature, visual arts, dance, drama, oral traditions, and traditional practices. Additionally, the foundation spotlights local food, local artists and their work, and folk music. It has a focus on promoting women and literature on the humanitarian front. Although details such as the date of founding, specific industries, headquarters, and recent investments are not available, the foundation's dedication to culture, education, and social welfare positions it as an impactful player in the non-profit sector.
