CSR should transcend mere legal compliance and become woven into the very fabric of our culture. In this era of Artificial Intelligence, it is imperative that we nurture selfless problem-solving by cultivating Compassionate Intelligence from within our own soil. My address at Indian CSR One Decade Celebration at Raj Bhavan, Mumbai today. Wockhardt Foundation

"At the age of playing with toys, why do we want our children to be married?" - Sarita, Mahila Mandal President, Jharkhand Meet 26-year-old Sarita, a fearless leader from our #BalMitraGram in Deori Block, Jharkhand who recently prevented child marriage of a 16-year-old girl, Kiran. Armed with compassion and determination, Sarita educated the family on child marriage laws, bravely faced threats, and ultimately saved Kiran from a future she didn't choose. An act of #compassion never falls short. Sarita’s efforts not only safeguarded Kiran’s dreams but also inspired the community to protect children's rights and fight against exploitation. . #CompassioninAction #StoryofCompassion #KSCF #SMGC #NoChildMarriage #StopChildMarriage #Education #Empowerment #Future #ChildRights

#HealthCamp Earlier this week, our team in Rajasthan’s Rajorgarh village, situated in the Alwar district, organized a health camp in collaboration with NIMS University Over 400 people received free consultations, medicines, and counseling, thanks to the dedicated team of senior doctors and nursing staff. One of the beneficiaries said, “We had to travel 15 km outside of this village to access healthcare facilities; today’s health camp was of tremendous help.” In one of the remotest villages, where accessing healthcare is a constant struggle, this camp brought vital services directly to the community. The overall objective was not only to raise awareness about health issues and precautionary measures but also to bridge the gap in healthcare services. By providing essential healthcare services to those with limited access, the camp facilitated early detection and treatment of illnesses, significantly improving health outcomes for the villagers.

Whenever I meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama, it is a joyous and laughter-filled moment, much like two children joking and laughing together. During an unforgettable visit to Dharamshala in 2019, together with His Holiness Dalai Lama, we engaged in discussions on compassion, education, and freedom. These conversations, rich with both agreements and disagreements, were recorded and later formed the basis of the ‘Book of Compassion’. This immersive discussion explored how compassion can help solve the problems our world is confronted with. We deliberated on new dimensions of Compassion in Action, integrating emotional science with practical applications while advocating for selfless and mindful problem-solving. Pooja Pande, the writer has captured our philosophy and the essence of our conversation in this book. I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as we enjoyed creating it. https://lnkd.in/g48ycQtc Penguin Publishing Group

I would like to share some of my poetic works with you. In today’s fractured and divided world, this poem speaks to universal oneness—a oneness that transcends shapes and identities.

With slogans such as 'Bharat Padhega, Aagey Badhega' and 'Hum Bachon ne Thana hai, Bal Mazdoori Mitana hai,' our children are echoing their messages on the streets of Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Rajasthan. They are the backbone of our #campaign — School Chalo Abhiyan, through which they have been actively raising awareness about education and preventing their peers from dropping out of school. These children are our compassion champions, who go an extra mile to ensure that their communities become #childmarriage and #childlabour free.
