LEADERS OF TOMORROW PROJECT

In 1997 the Dr. P. N. Singh Foundation launched a unique year long "Leaders of Tomorrow" Project in Mumbai for slum children studying in schools. The project exposes students from the underprivileged sections of our society to a specially designed programme on a continuous basis so that they occupy leadership positions in different professions. These children have low self-esteem and inferiority complex because of the socio-economic background they come from. The children are selected out of the eighth and ninth standard classes. The idea is to teach them things like goal-setting, time management, communication skills, public speaking, and social values, which they would not learn in a crowded classroom or from text-books.

The programme runs over 40 weeks with each weekly session having a duration of two hours each. Rajiv Kumar Luv has been instrumental in developing the Course Syllabus as well as a "Training Manual." He personally conducts these sessions along with a trusted band of specially trained and committed faculty. Anyone wishing to conduct such sessions in return for a token honorarium can contact him through this website.
