Mahatma Gandhi said, “The best way to find yourself is to
lose yourself in the service of others.”
It is with a similar belief that Shri Jaiprakashji Goel, a
staunch follower of Gandhian principles, set up Goel Ganga Foundation, the CSR
division of Goel Ganga Group, and a not-for-profit organization that is
committed to spreading pure delight by giving back to society.
Women hold up half the sky, Mao Zedong rightly said. At the
Foundation, we believe it is imperative to do our bit to strengthen their
world. GGF4Her is thus, Goel Ganga
Foundation’s effort to empower, uplift, and inspire women to occupy their
rightful place in the world.
The Indian woman is awakening into a new world – a world full of unique challenges. It was our vision to create a platform where she can tell her stories, be heard, grow, network and share with a group of like-minded women. That is why we created GGF4Her.
17 Sustainable
Development Goals, also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by world leaders
in a historic UN summit in September 2015. The fifth Global Goal is to achieve
Gender Equality.
Providing women
and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and
representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel
sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large. This is why
GGF4Her has chosen to align itself with UN SDG 5 – to create a world that is
pure delight for women.
Mrs. Saloni Goel
, the vivacious driving force behind the launch event, Mrs. Geeta Goel, the
source of inspiration for all of the Foundation, and Mrs. Amrita Goel, a budding sociopreneur, form the power-packed trio spearheading
GGF4Her.
The GGF4Her portal was launched on the 29th of March, 2017, at the hands of the Commissioner of Police, Pune, Rashmi Shukla. She applauded the thought behind the launch of GGF4Her and spoke about the need for empowering women.
At the launch
event, Mrs. Geeta Goel, the matriarch of the Group, announced a full
scholarship to Urmi Gopalakrishna, a bright, deserving student of GG
International School, which is run by the Goel Ganga Foundation. Urmi was also
felicitated at the hands of Mrs. Goel and Commissioner Shukla.
Stree Adhar, an
initiative launched by GGF4Her on International Women’s Day which helped female
labourers get their Aadhar Cards was also successfully concluded at the launch
event. Speaking of the initiative, Mrs. Saloni Goel said, “It was wonderful to
see so many women turn up to get their Aadhar Cards, and their happiness at
receiving it. It is not just a piece of documentation – to them it is a proof
of their existence, their identity. This, after all, is the thought behind
GGF4Her - to make the world a better place for one half of its population!”
The launch
event, held at Ganga Dham Towers in Marketyard, was a resounding success. It
was a great evening where a lot of women pledged their support towards a common
cause – creating a safe, secure world that is pure delight through the power of
sisterhood.
