inclusive, healthy and skilled

1. Inclusivity

• The term inclusion implies an all-embracing
  societal ideology. For individuals with
  disabilities and special needs, inclusion secures
  opportunities to learn alongside their
  non-disabled peers. Although establishing truly
  inclusive classrooms might be a tough task,
  parents and teachers approaching it with a
  positive attitude can make vital inroads in the
  right direction.
• We believe that creating a more inclusive society
  will not only benefit special needs children, but
  also raise a generation of people to be more
  compassionate towards those with different (but
  not necessarily lesser) abilities.

2. Health

• With increasing population, India is also facing
  a drastic increase in individual health problems.
  Each year, almost 38 million deaths occur in
  India due to non-communicable diseases. 16 out of
  these 38 million deaths occur before the age of
  70, and 82 of these premature deaths occur in
  low and middle-income countries.
• It is important to provide everyone access to
  healthcare facilities, and make them aware about
  the diseases they might be suffering from. To
  ensure that the underprivileged are not deprived
  of these facilities, organizations like the Ponty
  Chadha Foundation organize regular health and
  food distribution camps. Through such activities,
  the foundation addresses hunger, food security
  and community health for marginalised groups to
  drive them towards socio-economic development and
  a better quality of life.

3. Skills

• To grow and prosper, the worlds needs a skilled
  workforce. As a result, skill building and
  knowledge development become powerful tools to
  empower individuals and improve their social
  acceptance, and are widely recognized as the
  driving forces behind the financial growth and
  community development of any country.
• Nearly 4.75 million people join Indias workforce
  annually the challenge here is to provide
  employment to all of them. To achieve that,
  candidates need skills training that can make
  them employable. We need to build institutions
  that can support such skill development
  initiatives.
• In an age where job creation is a challenge in
  itself, it is important that skills are given due
  prominence right at the school level. While we do
  so in our educational institutions, namely
  Genesis Global School and Mata Bhagwanti Chadha
  Niketan, we also train the rural youth to gain
  skills required for an independent livelihood at
  Sardar Kulwant Singh Chadha Skills Academy.
• Believing in ones talents, abilities and
  self-worth can empower individuals and nations to
  walk down an even brighter path, but feeling
  included, being in the pink of health and having
  the skills to grab each opportunity makes one
  determined and capable to strive for excellence.
  In more ways than one, that is a goal we should
  all aim for.
