Indian Development Foundation is a leading national NGO committed to Health, Education and Development. Formerly known as Indian Leprosy Foundation, we started our national work in leprosy eradication programme during 1984. Massive nation-wide health awareness programme for over two decades has helped in reaching the goal of leprosy elimination. We have rechristened ourselves as Indian Development Foundation (IDF) and diversified our roles with enlarged objectives for a nation-building programme. IDF is a self-reliant NGO in India. IDF has over 100 Associate Projects scattered all over India providing services to the citizens without any discrimination. Apart from leprosy programmes, IDF also extends its services to health, education and development, since we believe that these two sectors contribute greatly towards enhancing the nation and the economy. IDF sponsors education for the underprivileged. We have 190+ Bal Gurukuls/ Empowerment programmes (Dec 2015) spread across India catering education to more than 10000 students under its wings. Our goal is to establish 500 Bal Gurukuls by 2020. IDF has launched Student Leadership Programme a national movement to engineer knowledge bank to create leaders for a better tomorrow. IDF has set up a Centre of Excellence to provide soft skill training and enhance the employability factor.

Bringing the Gift of Clear Vision

Indian Development Foundation (IDF), in collaboration with Sahu Eye Hospital, conducted a four-day eye screening camp at Gurukul High School & Junior College, Malvani, an underprivileged school, benefiting around 550 students, parents and support staff.

The initiative went beyond a routine eye check-up. Those who required prescription spectacles were provided with glasses, while individuals requiring further medical attention were referred to Sahu Eye Hospital for appropriate treatment. The required treatment will be made available at subsidised rates, ensuring that financial constraints do not stand in the way of essential eye care.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to a generous donor who has chosen to remain anonymous, in keeping with their wish for privacy. Their valuable contribution has helped make this initiative possible and ensured that those in need could receive the eye care and support they required.

At IDF, we believe that good health and clear vision are fundamental to a child’s ability to learn, grow and realise their potential.

Sometimes, a simple eye check-up can make a world of difference. Together, we can help children see not just more clearly, but also a brighter future.

Project Dignity – Promoting Menstrual Health & Hygiene

Today, Indian Development Foundation (IDF) distributed 252 Project Dignity Kits to 9th Standard girl students of R.V. Girls School, Jayanagar, Bangalore helping young girls access essential menstrual hygiene products and information.

The kits were generously sponsored by Marlabs Innovations Pvt. Ltd., whose continued support is helping IDF promote dignity, health and well-being among adolescent girls.

The distribution was complemented by an engaging and interactive awareness session on Menstrual & Personal Hygiene, conducted by Ms. Vismita and Ms. Tejaswini, Clinical Psychologists from Inner World Counseling for Mental Well-Being.

The session provided a safe and informative space for the students to learn, openly discuss and clarify their doubts about menstruation and personal hygiene. The curious questions raised by the students reflected their eagerness to understand and learn, while the valuable inputs shared by the resource persons helped dispel misconceptions and build greater awareness and confidence.

Through Project Dignity, IDF strives to ensure that every adolescent girl receives not only access to menstrual hygiene products, but also the knowledge, confidence and dignity to manage her menstrual health with care.

Our sincere thanks to Marlabs Innovations Pvt. Ltd.* for making this initiative possible, and to R.V. Girls School and the resource persons from Inner World Counseling for Mental Well-Being for their valuable support.

Together, let us create a future where menstruation is understood, discussed without hesitation, and managed with dignity.
