NSL Lead India

Having started as an unorganized group of students of Delhi University working in imparting education to the children in the slums of Mall Road, Delhi, in 1997, this initiative resulted in the slums going against begging and taking up honest hard work supported by the women who contributed by making incense sticks. Even today, nobody begs in the slums there.

From a humble initiative in the slums, "Lead India" turned out to be a national movement in nurturing leadership among people through different initiatives taken up over the years.

The "Lead India" initiative hinges primarily on directed efforts towards the upliftment of societies through the imparting of life skills training and workshops to help enable individuals to leverage on their strengths to build a better future. To that end, the Lead India initiative engages "Leadership Mentors" and Students at NSL bring a wide-ranging set of perspectives on the issues that society may face, and what would be the approaches to turn around the prevailing situations into development-oriented programmes that would play a constructive role.

The "Game Changer" initiative of "Lead India" is oriented towards addressing critical issues pertaining to communities, occupations or localities. Mentors, students and volunteers of Lead India come together to identify and resolve issues pertaining to social challenges.
