Art is a profound expression of human experience, yet many feel alienated from it due to preconceived notions of exclusivity. This sentiment serves as a reminder that appreciation for art knows no boundaries; it is a journey accessible to all, regardless of background or familiarity with the art ...world.

Through the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, we are committed to addressing these challenges and fostering a culture of inclusivity. Our mission is to cultivate an environment where every individual feels welcomed and inspired to explore their creativity. Through diverse programming and engaging exhibitions, we strive to empower all voices, encouraging dialogue and connection.

Despite India’s remarkable strides in education, its global share of research output remains strikingly low—just 3.1% in 2019, according to the Indian Science Reports. This gap highlights the critical need for greater emphasis on research, especially within the higher education sector.

... Research is a driver for quality education. Studies show that students who engage in research activities not only develop critical thinking skills but also tend to achieve better academic outcomes.

In India, a study revealed that 69% of respondents recognized that academic research helps educators stay updated with new lessons, and 67% believed that research ensures the support of central universities in accelerating the educational system. These findings underscore the essential role that research plays in shaping the future of education.

One of our research initiatives at Shiv Nadar University, Delhi NCR campus, the Opportunities for Undergraduate Research (OUR) program, has paved the way for students to conduct original research alongside faculty. This flagship program allows students to explore areas beyond their primary field of study, driven purely by intellectual curiosity and the desire to contribute meaningfully to global knowledge.

A strong research culture is nurtured in the institution through access to state-of-the-art laboratory spaces, collaboration with post-doctoral fellows and research scholars, and support for student-led initiatives.

At Shiv Nadar Foundation, we are deeply committed to fostering a culture of innovation through a steadfast focus on research. By prioritising research, we not only elevate students’ academic achievements but also empower them with the tools to address the complex global challenges of our time.

What’s more empowering than knowledge? Making it accessible to everyone.

The SHIKSHA Initiative is dedicated to making literacy accessible to everyone, from young students to adults who never had the opportunity to attend formal schooling.

Its flexible learning model ensures ...inclusivity by dividing learners into small batches and selecting instructors from within the community.

This personalised approach fosters familiarity and comfort, creating an environment where learners can thrive and where their unique needs are respected.

To date, SHIKSHA Initiative has benefitted over 250,000 students and made over 110,000 adults literate, empowering them with the literacy skills they need to participate more fully in society.

At the Shiv Nadar Foundation, we remain deeply committed to building a literate and empowered India, one learner at a time.

On this World Food Day, we celebrate #InnovationForChange in agriculture, nutrition, food security, and agripreneurship. Moolgyan, an initiative led by the students and alumni of VidyaGyan, is revolutionising food systems in rural India and empowering the youth to be innovative agripreneurs.
...
Prachi Prabhat Pandit, Head of MoolGyan, says, “As a School Farm, MoolGyan is a significant and effective learning model and is a space for learning, a space for feeling, a space for doing and a space for achieving. It uses outdoor spaces as a real-life learning environment, where students can practice farming activities, explore farm-life and farming practices, interact with nature, experiment with novel approaches, and develop a relationship with food.”

Intending to produce quality food and increase biodiversity, this initiative is fostering a new wave of sustainable agriculture, improving both crop yield and community well-being.

We than Anil Kumar Challa, Senior Scientist from Department of Life Sciences at Shiv Nadar IOE, and Meenambika Menon, Principal of VidyaGyan Dulhera for their able guidance in this journey. Kudos to the Moolgyan team for their consistent contributions in accelerating agricultural innovation: Arumugam G, Joella Karen Jose, Nishka Munpally, Pranav Prabhu, Prarthana, Kaivalya Neerukattu, Rithvika Nair, Prakriti Dhakrey, Shreya Sivaramakrishnan, Sahil Dutta, and Shubham Prajapati.
