IDF- Centre of Excellence, Bangalore.

Indian Development Foundation (IDF) is  coming up with Centre of Excellence - a holistic sustainable development model. The first project will be started in Bangalore. The initial cost of construction is INR 1.5 crores, we have already raised 25 lakhs from various supporters. The work has already been started and we plan to complete it by July 2014. We seek your kind support and financial assistance for this noble project.

IDF CofE will be a great boon for empowering youth in this country. It will be a kind of finishing school for the graduates/ engineering students who will be trained before they enter the market. We could see a large number of graduates/ engineers from rural India are unemployable despite their qualifications. Youth development should be taken as a cause and we thought it fit to take it through IDF CofE. Incidentally, the centre at Bangalore will have women empowerment and also an IDF Bal Gurukul. Once the project of IDF CofE gets successful, we will scale it up to different cities/ villages in India.

Kindly donate ₹ 2014/- and help in completing the project in 2014.

Donations can be sent by way of cheque in favour of Indian Development Foundation and sent to IDF Regd. Office - L 10/ 3 & 4, Jal Ratan Deep, Bangur Nagar, Goregaon West, Mumbai 400104 OR through NEFT/RTGS

Yash Technology establishes computer labs in IDF Bal Gurukuls @ Hyderabad.

Indian Development Foundation  thanks the management team of Yash Technologies for the noble gesture in helping to set up a computer labs in two IDF Bal Gurukuls -  Andhra Saraswathi Balika Pathashala , Feelkhana, and Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial Trust, Hydershakote, Hyderabad   to impart " RIGHT EDUCATION" to these special children.

Yash technologies is a leading global enterprise and business solutions provider. Yash is a classic example of Indian origin company going global with presence spread across the world - US, Europe, Asia and Australia.

IDF in its diversified objectives has included  education programmes into its fold. Education to the poor and the marginalized children in rural areas, tribal villages, urban slums and the handicapped,is a priority concern for IDF.  Education gives empowerment in employment areas, commercial activities, health care and in fact Total Quality of Life.  

In our country  there are still many first time school-goers in a family.   In such cases, the parents are not able to guide their wards on education matters.  There are families who with great difficulty send their children to government schools.  Those of who are capable monetary-wise provide their wards with tuition facilities. However, there are still several children attending schools but do not get proper educational guidance from home. 

 Indian Development Foundation (IDF) has found a method to remove this barrier by opening up `Education Programmes' OR `Bal Gurukuls’ in India.  From a humble beginning of 5 students in a tribal area of Karjat, IDF now has 140+ Bal gurkuls and covers over 8000+ students in India under this empowerment programme.

Promoting right to " RIGHT EDUCATION" has been one of the focus areas for IDF.  IDF also focuses on Women Empowerment Programmes providing adult education and vocational training to women folks under  - Sarva Sakhi Swabhiman (Project S-3). I am sure this small beginning will go a long way in helping these children gain skills on computers which will certainly help them in their course of life. 

We would like to thank IDF social ambassadors Dr.Geetanjali, Mr.Madhukar, Mr.Ramesh Kumar and 

Mrs.Rama for the excellent support.

IDF AIDS awareness rally at Thiruvanamallai.

Indian Development Foundation and Vignesh International School, Vignesh Polytechnic College & Kendriya Vidyalaya, Thiruvanamallai organized World AIDS Day awareness rally on December 7, 2014. 

Though the numbers of HIV cases are coming down in India, still we need to have concern for those affected with this dreaded disease and who die out of it. We can STOP HIV/ AIDS only through proper awareness and education. World AIDS Day gives us an opportunity to take part in the massive campaign and spread the message. The only strategy seems to be prevention and control through appropriate education. Ignorance, Myths & Stigmatization even almost decades after initiation of the control programs proves to be the nemesis of the prevention controls.
