Gulzarilal Nanda Foundation
This Foundation is a social and ideological organisation established with the aim of establishing moral values in the nation, expanding social awareness and strengthening Indian cultural thought.
The organisation believes that the real progress of any nation is possible not through material development alone, but through moral, social and cultural strength. Today, as society passes through a period of rapid change, the erosion of moral values, social imbalance and the aimlessness of the younger generation have become a serious challenge. In such times, this organisation is moving forward with the resolve to act as a moral beacon for the nation and society.
Our organisation believes in taking every section of society along. Through active participation in areas related to education, culture, health, social reform, agriculture, the environment and public welfare, we are continuously working towards building an aware, responsible and ethical society. Our aim is not merely to make plans, but to get them implemented effectively at the grassroots level and to bring positive change in society.

Aims and Resolve
To restore moral values and spread the ideals of the freedom struggle.
The main aim of the organisation is to restore moral values in the nation and to carry the great ideals of the freedom struggle to the present and future generations. We believe that unless society is morally strong, economic, social and political development cannot be lasting.
Our resolve is to create public awareness against the evils prevalent in society and to make citizens mindful of their duties. A key aim of the organisation is to give the right direction to talented youth, keeping them away from addiction, violence, immorality and going astray, and linking them to nation building.
In addition, the organisation designs voluntary schemes for economic, social and cultural well-being. Through these schemes, skilled and talented individuals are made partners in the nation's progress, and their contributions are given respect and encouragement. We believe that a nation becomes strong only when the talents of society receive the right platform and recognition.
Source of Inspiration — Gulzarilal Nanda
The ideological and moral inspiration of this organisation comes from the life, work and thoughts of Bharat Ratna Shri Gulzarilal Nanda Ji. Nanda Ji was a symbol of simplicity, honesty, sacrifice and service to the nation.
During his time in office, he gave the highest place to morality and public interest. His life is proof that one should not compromise on values and principles even while holding power and position.
The organisation's aim is to bring forward the public welfare policies, ideas and systems formulated and run during Nanda Ji's tenure, so that a moral outlook can be incorporated into present governments and schemes as well. Another major goal of the organisation is to unite the institutions, traditions and ideals established by Nanda Ji and to further strengthen work in the national interest.
Moral Values and Ideology
The organisation's ideology is based on truth, non-violence, honesty, service, equality and national interest.
Truth
Non-violence
Honesty
Service
Equality
National Interest
We believe that society can progress only when individuals rise above personal self-interest and think about social and national interest.
We work to awaken society against social evils—such as corruption, unethical conduct, addiction, discrimination and exploitation. We also support concrete laws, policies and systems that make society morally strong.
The organisation places special emphasis on the development and promotion of Ayurvedic, homeopathic and other Indian systems of medicine. We link organic farming, the concept of an organic state, protection of cattle wealth and conservation of natural resources with the long-term welfare of the nation.
Developing Indian culture, tradition and ideal religious places as tourism and cultural heritage, so that the moral standards of society are protected from decline, is an integral part of the organisation's ideology. The organisation also plays an active role in ensuring transparency in food-grain schemes, the moral strength of public welfare schemes and accountability in governance.
Honour, Participation and Nation Building
Carrying forward the tradition of moral honours in memory of Bharat Ratna Nanda Ji, the organisation honours individuals and institutions making outstanding contributions to the welfare, security and social progress of the country. We believe that honour and encouragement bring positive energy to society and inspire others to serve the nation as well.
This Foundation is not merely an organisation but an ideological movement that works to unite and awaken society and make it a partner in nation building. Our resolve is to keep working with honesty, transparency and morality, and to contribute to building an India that is culturally proud, socially just and morally strong.
