The education program of Pardada Pardadi Education Society (PPES) aims to empower girls both socially and economically. The programme focuses on fostering independence and self-learning skills in each girl. PPES operates four schools affiliated with the U.P. Board, including the Emma Horne School for pre-primary education and the Pardada Pardadi Inter College for senior education. The society also partners with Bhagwati Sarla Paliwal Inter College Jattari in Aligarh. Alongside free education, PPES provides study materials, uniforms, stationery, health facilities, transportation, and three daily meals. Girls receive a daily scholarship deposited into their accounts, motivating parents from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to send their daughters to school.

Pardada Pardadi Education Society (PPES) established the Community Development Division (CDD) to address gender equality and women's rights. Through the CDD, PPES focuses on economic empowerment by improving livelihoods and implementing savings and inter-loaning programmes. Simultaneously, social empowerment is fostered by eliminating discrimination. Self-help groups (SHGs) play a vital role in this endeavour, with 10-12 women forming collectives to discuss their concerns, save money collectively, and access loans. PPES facilitates the creation of these SHGs to promote women's independence in both social and economic spheres.

PPES is dedicated to socially empowering women by fostering their financial independence. The organisation achieves this by facilitating professional higher education, skill enhancement, and job opportunities in collaboration with I Village. PPES not only provides educational opportunities and career guidance to students but also ensures that they become financially secure. Additionally, PPES partners with IVillage to offer on-the-job training in stitching, hand embroidery, and machine embroidery, creating viable livelihood options for unskilled and semi-skilled rural women. IVillage acts as a social enterprise, finding markets to sell the products manufactured by these units.

Through the Needs Assessment Project, research volunteers evaluate the health needs of Bulandshahr district's villagers, including resource availability and healthcare provision.
