Today, in the 21st century, education needs to be robust enough to mould the youth into, decision-makers and enablers. Education has been a foremost contributor in bringing inclusive growth and adds to India’s developmental path.

Industries require skilled employees and equipping students with appropriate hands-on skills to make them employable or job-ready is a need of the hour.

The programme aims to improve the growth and development of these girls by training them with the skills required to face industry challenges.
DLF Foundation understands the need for proper infrastructure for the holistic development of the region and has been at the forefront in developing basic rural infrastructure to ease the problems faced by locals. Extending support towards social and rural development, DLF Foundation reconstructed a school called ‘Bada School’ in Bada village and the road in Mewka Village, Gurugram which has brought relief to the locals of the area.
Over the years, CSR Foundations have been actively engaging in elderly care. DLF Foundation considers it as one of its primary initiatives and has been working towards organizing recreational activities to enable senior citizens to lead a quality life. Through their Senior Citizen Center, it encouraged senior citizens to participate in various creative and interesting activities like yoga classes, spiritual sessions, picnics and food festivals which helped them to stay enthusiastic and lively.
