Building a generation of leaders committed to nation building and social transformation since 2011
Founder
When we started Disha Foundation in 2011, we had a simple yet powerful vision: to empower the youth of India with the leadership skills, values, and vision needed to build a stronger, more prosperous nation. Today, as I reflect on our journey, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for what we have achieved together.
Our youth are not just the future of India; they are the present force that can drive meaningful change. Through our Public Leadership Camps, cultural initiatives, and various empowerment programs, we have witnessed thousands of young minds transform into confident, responsible leaders who are making a real difference in their communities.
I invite you to join us in this mission. Whether you are a young person seeking to unlock your potential, a parent wanting the best for your child, or a volunteer passionate about nation building, there is a place for you at Disha Foundation. Together, we can create a brighter future for India.
To create a generation of empowered, value-driven young leaders who are committed to building a progressive, inclusive, and prosperous India through leadership excellence, cultural awareness, social responsibility, and good governance.
To provide comprehensive leadership development programs, foster cultural pride, promote women empowerment, raise awareness about good governance, and engage youth in nation-building activities that create lasting positive impact on society.
Disha Foundation was established in 2011 in Surat, Gujarat, with a clear purpose: to address the growing need for value-based leadership development among India's youth. In a rapidly changing world, we recognized that young people needed more than just academic education—they needed practical leadership skills, strong ethical values, and a deep sense of social responsibility.
Over the past decade, we have grown from a small local initiative to a recognized organization impacting thousands of young lives across Gujarat and beyond. Our flagship Public Leadership Camp (PLC) has become a transformative experience for participants, combining intensive training, motivational sessions, team-building activities, and real-world problem-solving exercises.
Beyond PLC, we have expanded our reach through various programs focusing on cultural preservation, women empowerment, good governance awareness, and community service. Each initiative is designed with one goal in mind: to develop well-rounded individuals who can lead with integrity, compassion, and vision.
Our approach is holistic and experiential. We believe that true leadership is not taught through lectures alone but through hands-on experiences, mentorship, and exposure to diverse perspectives. Our programs bring together students, professionals, educators, and community leaders to create a rich learning environment where ideas are exchanged, skills are honed, and lifelong connections are formed.
Today, Disha Foundation stands as a testament to the power of youth-driven change. Our alumni are making significant contributions in various fields—from education and business to social work and public service. They are the living proof that when young people are given the right opportunities, guidance, and support, they can achieve extraordinary things.
