About DLF Foundation
DLF Foundation's vision is to transform the communities we work with through high-impact interventions in spheres of education, healthcare, social sustainability, and environment enabling a better quality of life and creating sustainable ecosystems for all stakeholders within the immediate and extended communities.
We accomplish this through the creation of customized programmes and innovative institutions that address India’s current development challenges and by providing a platform for the Foundation to collaborate with other institutions, professionals, and subject matter experts to deliver sustained, magnified impact across communities of interest.
DLF Foundation transforms communities by delivering high-impact interventions in the following focus areas:
Education
DLF Foundation is committed to driving excellence along with inclusivity in education, helping shape the next generation of India. DLF Foundation’s flagship education Programme 'DLF CARES' was established with the premise that every child has the right to quality education and the primary objective is to nurture and handhold children to enable them to realize their true potential and become productive and responsible citizens of tomorrow. Under this Programme, we award scholarships to deserving students from low-income families and support their education in quality schools and institutions up to class XII and beyond. Since the inception of the program in 2011, close to 2000+ students from 19 states have been supported in their education and over 300 have gone on to pursue higher education. The scholars in addition to the academic interventions are also provided counselling and mentoring support through a dedicated Counselling cell established at the Foundation.
Social Sustainability
DLF Foundation understands that community development does not happen in a vacuum and ensuring that sustainable ecosystems are created is a crucial social commitment that impacts our development as a society. Keeping this in mind, we work towards the goal of sustainable cities, prioritizing a sustainable environment for the larger public good.
Road safety and pedestrian safety is a crucial component of any sustainable ecosystem. Recognizing this, the DLF Foundation is planning safe pedestrian walkways on high-traffic and high-speed public roads that are prone to accidents.
In addition, the DLF Foundation also steps in to build and create public facilities to address development gaps where needed. The Foundation is planning the development of a first-of-its-kind eco-friendly crematorium in Gurugram in association with the Haryana Government.
