Section 1 | About Udayan Care

Family is the anchor for an individual's emotional and physical well-being. A weakened family

structure or absence of it hinders the development of an individual into a confident, strong, and

emotionally balanced individual, who is capable of caring for his/her own family in the future.

Udayan Care was established in 1994 by Dr. Kiran Modi. Udayan Care's single-minded focus is on

strengthening the family structure and it also informs and drives the curation and design of its

programmes - whether it simulates a family environment or supports them through providing for

education, vocational skills and employability training to children and youth coming from lower

socio-economic strata, so that they can sustain and strengthen their families.

  • Through the power of mentorship, we nurture children, who are orphaned, abandoned, and at
risk, in the warmth of a simulated family environment at our 17 Udayan Ghars, in 4 States.

Once the children reach the age of 18 years, they move into our Aftercare Programme and

continue with higher education or vocational training towards employment. So far more than

1500 children and youth have been impacted through the programme.

  • We support higher education of young girls whose families cannot afford it through the
Udayan Shalini Fellowship Programme. More than 11000 Shalinis from 26 chapters across

India, have gone on to complete their education since the programme's inception in 200- We empower under-served youth and adults to improve their employability skills at 16 of our

Information Technology and Vocational Training Centers across Delhi NCR, Kurukshetra

(Haryana), and Srinagar (Uttarakhand). The plan is to roll out more centers across other states

in the coming years. We are working with State governments of Bihar and MP to develop

demonstrable models of Aftercare, in partnership with UNICEF.

  • Our Aftercare Outreach Programme started in 2020, caters to youth coming out of other
Child Care Institutions. It encourages them to create associations and self-help groups which

provides them with learnings and support of shared experiences.

Udayan Care advocates for children's rights in alignment with the Indian Constitution, the United Nations

Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), and the Sustainable Development Goals, in its

programmes, as well as through its efforts in advocacy, research, publications, and by organizing and

participating in seminars and conferences, and through training, childcare cadres in standards of

Alternative Care.
