About
Yog Dhyan Foundation
Yog Dhyan Foundation (YDF) is an Indian registered charitable trust founded in the year 1985. The idea of its existence was conceived and inspired by the philosophy of providing quality life to all. Apart from the varied social and community wide initiatives YDF’s primary mandate focuses on a special category of children.
Due to limited resources and lack of awareness, especially with the under-priveledge sector of society, many children with T1DM face unfortunate ultimely death, which is completely avoidable with the help of basic necessities such as nutrition & medication.
We have tailored our goals to specifically address the ground level socioeconomic issues faced by families & children with T1DM, in India.
YDF has been creating an enabling & positive environment for children with T1DM & help them realise their optimum potential towards living an improved & joyful life. Many YDF children have gone on to live holistic & successful lives as doctors, engineers, architects, and various other professions. YDF is proud to witness the positive impact that its members have made in their respective communities. Problem shared is a problem halved, & for such families, knowing that they are not alone in their struggles, is comforting.
