🎁 Spreading Smiles: Gift Hampers for Children in Hospital 🌟
​Today, Team SNS took a beautiful and unique step to bring joy and comfort to young fighters. We distributed specially curated gift hampers to around 30 children admitted to the pediatric ward of Rao Tula Ram Hospital, Najafgarh, Delhi. Each beautifully packed box was filled with exciting activity books and vibrant colors to keep young minds engaged, alongside small toys for comfort and delicious cookies for a sweet, comforting treat.
​We are immensely grateful to Dr. Satish Chandra (CMO), Dr. Punam (Medical Superintendent), and the entire medical and support staff of Rao Tula Ram Hospital for their seamless support in making this wonderful initiative possible. We look forward to continuing our efforts to bring comfort, hope, and healing to children during their hospital stay.
​Together, bringing hope and smiles!

Welcome on board- Mr. Rakesh Gupta

​We are immensely grateful to *Mr. Rakesh Gupta* for stepping forward to lead our newly formed "SNS Alumni Management" team. Mr. Gupta recently retired from a highly distinguished senior corporate position.

​The SNS Alumni Management vertical is a crucial milestone in our organization's evolution. While our early mission focused on ensuring that every child successfully completes their secondary education, we have now transitioned to the next level: ensuring our children are skilled enough to become entirely self-dependent with dignity, effectively breaking the generational cycle of illiteracy and poverty within their families.

​The SNS Alumni Management team will handhold and mentor all of our students from Class 10 onwards until they are fully skilled and career-ready professionals.

​Many domain experts has already joined this team.

We are fully confident that under the capable leadership of Mr. Rakesh Gupta, this team will guide hundreds of our children toward their true potential and destiny.

​ We are on a new mission: "From Seed to Shelter."

​Regards,
​Team SNS

VISITOR'S VIEW- Mr. SRIPAL JAIN

We recently celebrated the birthday of one of our colleagues with STAND N STRIDE, and it turned out to be a truly meaningful and heartwarming experience for our entire team.

The celebration was organized in a park where the NGO regularly conducts classes for children from low-income families. Seeing the children learn with enthusiasm in such a simple environment was both inspiring and humbling. The joy, energy, and innocence of the children made the celebration even more special.

Our experience with Stand N Stride was extremely satisfying. The dedication and commitment of their team towards educating and supporting underprivileged children deserve great appreciation. They are doing remarkable work for the community and making a genuine difference in the lives of many families.

We feel happy to have been a part of this initiative and look forward to supporting such meaningful social efforts in the future.

Free Women’s Health Screening Camp at Sector 2 Pathshala

On 10th May 2026, Stand n Stride successfully organized a Free Health Screening Camp for women from economically weaker sections on the special occasion of Mother’s Day. The initiative was part of the celebration of 45 years of the Art of Living and the 70th birthday of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

With the generous support of the Rotary Club and medical facilities provided by BKL Max Hospital’s fully equipped mobile medical van, 20 women above 40 years benefitted from Mammography and PAP Smear screenings. A dedicated team comprising a gynecologist and technical staff ensured every beneficiary was attended to with care.

Heartfelt thanks to the Rotary Club, BKL Max Hospital, and the Art of Living team for making this impactful initiative successful.

Annual Mentors Meet with Mother's Day celebration!

On mother's Day, ​ we held our Annual Mentors Meet, a heartfelt celebration of the tireless efforts and unwavering commitment shown by our mentors throughout the year. Their dedication has been the driving force behind the exceptional results achieved by our students.
​
​We intentionally chose Mother’s Day for this celebration to honor the "motherly approach" our mentors bring to caring for our 400+ children. Much like a mother, a mentor provides the highest level of care regardless of the challenges faced. Even with limited resources, our students' success stands as a powerful testament to this selfless, nurturing environment.
​
​This success is a collective achievement. We extend our deepest salute and gratitude to
​ our Mentors for their spirit and devotion.

​ A very special thank you to Venkateshwar Hospital Dwarka for their incredible hospitality. By providing us with their beautiful auditorium and a delicious lunch for all attendees, they helped make this day truly memorable.

Thanks to Mrs. Mily Singhall for her excellent anchoring. Special thanks to SNS Vice President Vijaya Laxmi Poddar, Super 30 program head Mrs. Seema Mittal ans SNS Director Dr. Saroj Nagpal Gulati for her role from conceptualization to realization.

Honored to Join the Tata Group Legacy at Air India ✈️

​Yesterday marked my first day at Air India.
​As an aviation professional with 25 years in the industry, joining the national carrier is a proud milestone. However, as a social worker by passion, this move feels even more significant. I have always been deeply inspired by the Tata Group’s legacy of philanthropy and their philosophy that the community is the very purpose of an enterprise's existence.
​To now be a part of this group—where professional excellence and social responsibility go hand-in-hand—is truly a full-circle moment for me.
​I look forward to contributing to Air India’s transformation and upholding the values of service and integrity that this iconic brand represents.
​Ready for this new chapter! 🚀
