SAMPARC™ was started with a very humble purpose to give a new identity to the orphan, destitute and children of sex workers to grow under community umbrella. SAMPARC™ is a brainchild of Shri Amitkumar Banerjee and Smt. Lata Pande who realized that an organization needs to be started so that children should not be identified as children of sex workers or orphans or as a destitute child. With this sole purpose SAMPARC™ was started in 1990 at the footsteps of famous Bhaje Caves with 7 orphan children near Lonavla.

With a clear vision in mind and determination in hearts, Shri Amitkumar Banerjee and Smt. Lata Pande meticulously worked towards the upliftment of socially marginalized children and women. Each step taken was aimed towards developing physical, mental and emotional well being of orphan, destitute and needy children. But they had to face many difficulties; many times they both remained starved but appealed for the orphan children. Their strong will power, determination and will to work hard helped them to overcome all the obstacles and build strong foundation of SAMPARC™ to march forward and serve more orphan, poor and needy children.

There were times when they spent their hard earned money from their own pockets and sometimes they did not fulfill their own children’s wish to serve the orphan children. Children in SAMPARC™ never even realized that they were orphan as they received motherly love and affection from Mrs Lata Pande and Mr.Banerjee took responsibility of their education and the children were bought up in such a way that now many of them are settled in their lives. Today some of the children are holding good position in big organization and some of the girls are married and living happily. All this has been possible only because of Mr. Amit Banerjee and Mrs. Lata Pande.

SAMPARC™ now supports 650 children and has spread all over India. This has been possible because of the strong support of SAMPARC™ Board of Trust. They have always guided SAMPARC™ in the endeavor of serving the society and making a difference in the lives of poor and destitute children. When SAMPARC™ was started Shri. K.K.Singhvi, Smt.Pushpa Singhvi, Dr.Lalit Chokhani, Dr.A.M.Soman, Dr. Manda Soman, Shri V.H.Lakhe, Shri.Pradeep Lakhe, Rtn.Ajay Argade, Shri.Madan Pande, Smt. Ratna Banerjee and like them many stood with SAMPARC™ as a pillar of strength during all rough times and ensured that SAMPARC™ overcomes all the difficulties and moves forward.

SAMPARC™ received guidance and advice from senior and experienced person like Shri.K.K.Singhvi who is a senior advocate in Supreme Court, who accepted to be the President of SAMPARC™. Smt.Pushpa Singhvi has always given her valuable guidance to women and staff.

Dr. Shri and Smt. Soman had accepted the responsibility to take care of health aspects of the children and to create health awareness among women.The family of Shri.Lakhe allowed SAMPARC™ to run its Registered Office in their house. Shri. Pradeep Lakhe gave his guidance in financial matters.Mr.Madan Pande supported Mrs. Lata Pande because of which she was able to spend and devote her time to develop SAMPARC™.

Mrs. Ratna Banerjee took complete responsibility of her family which helped Mr.Banerjee to concentrate and work towards the development of SAMPARC™. Her experience and valuable personal guidance to the house mother and staff has always helped SAMPARC™ to overcome many difficulties.
