As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility, Bharat Forge is closely involved with activities of the India Education Initiative and PPEF. Mr. B. N. Kalyani is the Founder and Chairman of PPEF, which is engaged in providing primary education to children in the age group of 3-14, belonging to the most underprivileged sections of the local community. Over the past 4 years, PPEF has touched the lives of over 50,000 children in Pune, and has become an important catalyst for women empowerment.

PPEF operates through an extensive network of Balsakhis, Balwadis, Bridge Courses and Outreach Programmes. PPEF's contributions have resulted in Pune achieving almost 100% literacy.
