About Udayan Care

Udayan Care is a Public Charitable Trust, working for the last 24 years, for the quality care of disadvantaged children and women.

Vision: To Regenerate the Rhythm of Life of the Disadvantaged

Theory of Change: “There are millions of orphaned and abandoned children in India; in addition, girls from weaker sections of society do not get an equal opportunity to continue their education; professional skills and attitude are lacking among disadvantaged communities to become economically self-reliant”.

Udayan Care provides homes to orphaned children while also giving girls financial and development support to continue higher education, and communities to train themselves invocations, by engaging socially committed individuals, who provide a transformative, nurturing and mentoring environment, to help them realize their full potential.

Mission:

A nurturing home for every orphaned child, an opportunity for higher education for every girl and for every adult, the dignity of self-reliance and the desire to give back to society.

About ITVT centers

There is a growing demand for Information Technology and vocational training among the poor urban and rural communities including communities around our Udayan homes. We have also found the use of computer and IT vitally important in our counseling programme for the children of Udayan Homes.

Aditya took a 3 hours structured session in our South Delhi Center. The session was bifurcated in 3 sections, during these sessions Aditya educated the youth as to why one should keep in our mind not, to do in excess of communicating via email, why one should focus on striking subject lines before sending an email to anyone, always be polite, make sure to check our voice tone, make a habit for proofreading, etc.

Overall the session was found to be really interesting and full of knowledgeable concepts as per the feedback is given by the students.

 

Expert session by TISS

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) was established in 1936 as the Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work. In 1944. Since its inception, the Vision of the TISS has been to be an institution of excellence in higher education that continually responds to changing social realities through the development and application of knowledge, towards creating a people-centred, ecologically sustainable and just society that promotes and protects dignity, equality, social justice and human rights for all. A team of volunteers from TISS connected with an objective to assess our youth's level of soft skills training and guide them how then can groom more and more in soft skills. First session "evaluation of soft skills" was taken by Deepak, during a 2 hours session students were given a small written assessment and one to one question answer round. To make this session more interesting and elated Deepak conducted a few small activities too.

Overall as per the feedback of students, they found it to be a really interesting session and the expert's way of facilitating the session was amazing.
