About Us

An India-registered NGO, Disha Bharat delivers customized workshops, counselling sessions and sensitization programs to students and faculty of educational institutions across India. Our programs facilitate deep-dives into the Self, our Country and our Culture- the three interlinked facets that are critical to instilling pride in our nation and driving the multi-faceted changes needed to cleanse the system. Disha Bharat’s programs promote and sustain holistic development of students by enabling and supporting their development in five distinct, yet inter-related spheres, viz. an individual’s physical quotient, emotional quotient, intellectual quotient, social quotient and spiritual quotient. There is a compelling need to evolve a holistic, action-based approach to instilling values in our youth, and this is what Disha Bharat aims to deliver. Knowledge without action is of little use. That is why Disha Bharat’s programs involve activity-based workshops, so that students learn by doing and experiencing. This focus on activity-based workshops differentiates us and positions us to engage more holistically with students.

Given the important role played by teachers in developing our youth, Disha Bharat also conducts faculty development programs. These programs are designed to enable teachers recognize their roles in moulding our nation’s youth into strong-willed, responsible citizens. It empowers them to shape the students’ clay-like character and thoughts and bake them in the kilns of our nation’s culture, fired by a spirit of self-inquiry.

All our programs are delivered by a team of dedicated full-time resource persons and volunteers drawn from different segments of our society. Our team includes academics, doctors, engineers, scientists, psychologists, IT professionals, chartered accountants, lawyers, corporate leaders etc.- all of whom are united in their mission to equip India’s youth with a strong foundation of values to complement our formal systems of education. It is our hope that this will prepare our younger generations to face the vagaries of life with far more courage, equanimity and confidence.
