December 20, 2022 snfblog

In 1994, the Shiv Nadar Foundation was established. The Foundation is committed to closing the socioeconomic divide by promoting the growth of a more just and merit-based society and empowering individuals via transformational education. The Foundation runs many projects, organizations, and initiatives in the domains of art and education in rural and urban areas.

The Foundation, kickstarted by Shiv Nadar, the founder of HCL and a US$ 12 billion industry leader, follows the model that enables sustained institutionalized philanthropy for socioeconomic reform with long-term effects. The ideology is to have a deeper impact on subsequent generations and ensure many more students make most of this opportunity.

All children have a right to education and keeping that in mind, two of SNF’s illustrious initiatives, Shiv Nadar University Delhi-NCR and Shiv Nadar University Chennai, have been making great strides. Read below to learn more:
