Sadbhavna empowers the young minds of the less privileged communities through education and personality development. The program has evolved over the years and become a beacon of hope for many.
Newgen incepted its Sadbhavna program in 2006 as a philanthropic activity to assist children coming from lesser privileged communities and children of Newgen’s employees to support their education. The sessions are conducted every second Saturday of the month, where the students’ education-related issues are discussed and resolved. Also, various fun and interactive activities are organized to encourage students to participate actively.
During these sessions, the students are divided into two groups – seniors and juniors. The senior students are offered personality development sessions by IAM Wellbeing while the juniors are engaged in activities like painting, watching motivational movies, etc.
At Newgen, employees are treated like family. This has also been the core philosophy behind Sadbhavna. Many of Newgen’s senior employees actively volunteer for the Sadbhavna initiative in various capacities. For instance, some employees teach Mathematics while some help senior students with their English-speaking abilities.
Today, the number of students attending Sadbhavna sessions has increased from eight to nearly 90. It’s success is attributed to the hard work and vigour of the facilitators and the students will to learn.
