Transforming dreams into reality
Improving the lives of women and children, with holistic development opportunities and a focus on health, education, and empowerment.
Our Vision
Nand Ghar is committed to the Prime Minister's national vision of eradicating child malnutrition, providing education and healthcare, and empowering women with skill development.
Our Mission
Transforming the lives of 80 mn children and 20 mn women across 1.37 mn Anganwadis in India through Nand Ghars.
Fulfilling our honourable Prime Minister's commitment towards Swacch Bharat, Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, and Startup India by equipping Nand Ghars with televisions for e-learning, solar panels for reliable power, safe drinking water, and clean toilets.
Our Modernised Anganwadis
We aim to transform the Anganwadi network with modern infrastructure and a bouquet of integrated services including e-learning for children, primary healthcare services, and economic empowerment of women.
This model of state-of-the-art Anganwadi will function as an education and health centre for children in the morning and as a skill development training centre for women in the second half. The Nand Ghar project has shown a remarkable improvement in learning abilities and school-readiness in children as we deploy e-learning modules and playful learning for education in collaboration with world-class partners. With an integrated approach, Nand Ghars are ensuring women undergo entrepreneurship training, to start their micro-enterprises and provide credit linkages, thereby providing an excellent opportunity to transform the lives of millions of women in the coming years.
To transform the lives of women and children, 13,000+ Nand Ghars have been set up across 16 states in India, and recently Vedanta signed an MOU with the Government of Rajasthan to develop 25,000 Nand Ghars across the state.
Through our flagship project, Nand Ghar, we are committed to fulfilling Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of eradicating child malnutrition, providing education and healthcare, and empowering rural women through skill development. I have no doubt in my mind that Nand Ghar will continue to create a better tomorrow for the mother and the child at the grassroots level.
