About Pooja

Over the course of her work, Puja has been involved in the nurturing of a large number of organizations and people, enabling them to connect at the level of individual belief, to the vision of all rights, for all children.
For the past 25 years, Puja has helped build an organizational framework for CRY that best captures the essence of justice and equity.
