Paranjape Schemes Partners with Tarangan Foundation for Care Assessment at Swaniketan
Structured Care and Assessment Framework for Swaniketan
Paranjape Schemes Construction Private Limited announced a collaboration with Tarangan Foundation on 7 March 2026, a strategic partnership for Swaniketan, India's first exclusive residential community designed specifically for differently-abled individuals and their families, to ensure structured assessment process and long-term care.
The Role of Tarangan Foundation
Tarangan Foundation is a Pune-based Section 8 non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with special needs and their families through structured, dignified, and sustainable support systems, focusing on inclusion, long-term care planning, and community participation, combining professional expertise with active family involvement.
As part of this initiative, Tarangan Foundation will anchor the structured screening and assessment process for families seeking to be part of the community. The screening framework includes detailed health and psychosocial assessments, family consultations, financial preparedness evaluation, and legal planning measures to ensure long-term continuity of care through private trusts and structured succession planning.
Swaniketan's Integrated Care Ecosystem
Developed under the Paranjape Special Projects Division (PSPD), Swaniketan has been conceptualised as a long-term home where families can live with dignity, security, and community support.
The project integrates thoughtfully designed family units and assisted hostel facilities, along with structured common infrastructure, including a Vocational Centre, Therapy Spaces, a Day Care Centre, recreational amenities, and dedicated caregiver support on each floor.
Addressing the "What After Us" Concern
Swaniketan will aim to provide for the families of individuals on the Autism Spectrum, Down's Syndrome, Intellectual Disability, and Cerebral Palsy. This special emphasis emerges from the limited initiatives available for these individuals.
The project is located at Forest Trails Township at Bhugaon (Pirangut), near Pune City, approximately 10 kilometres from Chandani Chowk and 15 kilometres from Kothrud. The Forest Trails Township is spread over 180 acres, and Swaniketan will be a gated community within this larger township with access to the amenities of the township as well as those specifically created for the care of persons with special needs.
Over 200 families have already undergone structured screening, with more than 75 families shortlisted in the first phase ahead of launch, underscoring Swaniketan's emergence as a pioneering and much-needed solution for inclusive, lifelong community living in India.
Strategic Importance of the Partnership
This collaboration marks a critical step in strengthening Swaniketan's care-led ecosystem by integrating rigorous assessment, professional support, and long-term continuity planning within a purpose-built residential environment.
The foundation is established by parents of children with special needs who are also professionals in varied fields ranging from special education, psychology to finance. The Facilitated Family Living Concept was developed by founders Suneeta Kulkarni, Sunita Lele and Beena Modak after extensive research and review of several projects for individuals with special needs in India and elsewhere.
