Sankalp India Foundation

Dedicated to the care, cure, and prevention of Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Disease, and promoting voluntary blood donation.

In the era of self-centered thinking, when the sense of responsibility towards the society and the country is dying out, Sankalp India Foundation is a Youth Organization that begs to differ. Promoting Youth Empowerment for Social and National Welfare,we invite all those who believe in the change for the better to Stop Thinking and Start Working. Sankalp provides a platform for all such people who

want to contribute and participate in Nation Building but who find the inertia of the system too much to overcome. By constructive group work we slowly break the barriers of fear to act differently and nurture individuals who live up to their inner feelings and commitment to this land.

What does freedom feel like to you?

At Sankalp, it felt like standing together as the Tricolour went up. It sounded like our mothers singing with pride, children dancing joyfully to patriotic songs, and excited voices calling out answers during the quiz. And yes, it also tasted like a yummy lunch shared together! IN

Then, for a few moments, everything became quiet.

We remembered those who gave their lives so that we could live ours in freedom. That silence said more than words ever could.

This Independence Day wasn't just celebrated at Sankalp India Foundation-it was truly felt.

What does freedom mean to you?

Hope is not created through one intervention alone.

Screening helps prevent suffering before it begins. Transfusions sustain a child through today. Transplants restore the possibility of tomorrow.

Together, they form one continuum of hope.

In Ignited Minds, Dr Manish Tiwari, Professor and Head, Department of Pediatrics, Government Medical College & Hospital, Nagpur, reminds us that a future free from the suffering caused by haemoglobin disorders can only be built when prevention, care and cure work together.

Every stage matters. Every connection matters. Every family deserves access to the right support at the right time.

How can we strengthen this continuum of hope for every family affected by thalassemia and sickle cell disease?

MoU with WCL: When Prevention Becomes Part of the System

Prevention creates lasting impact only when it becomes part of the healthcare system families rely on every day.

On 31 July 2026, Western Coalfields Limited (WCL) and Sankalp India Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding to implement an Antenatal Screening Programme for Haemoglobinopathies across government hospitals in Nagpur, Chandrapur, Yavatmal, Gadchiroli, Chhindwara and Betul.

The MoU was signed by Shri Lalit Prakash Tirkey, General Manager (CSR), WCL, and Shri Rajat Kumar Agarwal, President, Sankalp India Foundation, in the presence of Shri Bikram Ghosh, Director (Human Resources), WCL.

By integrating antenatal screening, partner testing, genetic counselling, and confirmatory testing into routine maternal healthcare, this initiative will help identify at-risk pregnancies early and prevent severe genetic blood disorders such as Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Disease in newborns.

This is more than a partnership. It is a step towards making prevention a permanent part of the public health system—ensuring more children are born healthy and more families have the opportunity for a new beginning.

As parents, we spend our lives trying to protect our children from the things we can see.

We worry through every fever, celebrate every milestone, and hope we're making the right decisions for their future.

But what about the risks we don't even know exist?

For many families living with thalassemia and sickle cell disease, the hardest moment isn't just the diagnosis. It's discovering they were carriers only after the disease had already entered their lives.

No parent should have to live with the thought, "If only we had known."

In this edition of Ignited Minds, Sameer Thakkar, a parent of a child with thalassemia, shares why carrier testing and awareness should become a normal part of family health and not to create fear, but to give families the knowledge they need to make informed choices before it's too late.

Because sometimes, the greatest way to protect a child begins long before they are born.

What would it take for carrier testing to become as routine as any other health check before starting a family? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

A scientific breakthrough means little if it never reaches the child who needs it.

Today, we know more about preventing, managing and curing thalassemia and sickle cell disease than ever before. But knowledge alone cannot change lives. Progress must move beyond laboratories and hospitals to reach every patient, family and community.

In this edition of Ignited Minds, Dr Elke Neujahr reminds us that lasting change is only possible when researchers, clinicians, governments, civil society and families work together—not only to advance science, but to make lifesaving care accessible to all.

As we work towards a thalassemia- and sickle cell-free India, the question is:

How do we ensure that every scientific advance becomes a real chance at life for every child?

We speak of a sickle cell–free India. But are we prepared to go where the burden is greatest?

The success of this mission will not be decided only in places where healthcare is already within reach. It will be decided in the tribal communities where families still face the greatest barriers to screening, diagnosis and care.

In this edition of Ignited Minds, Dr. Beenu Singh brings us back to the question that truly matters:

How do we ensure that the last mile is never the reason a family is left behind?

Imagine if a single conversation during pregnancy could change the course of a family's future.

The science exists. The screening exists. The opportunity exists.

So why do so many families still learn about thalassemia and sickle cell disease only after a child is born?

In this edition of Ignited Minds, Dr. Alka Patankar talks about the importance of timely prenatal screening and why awareness, counselling and access must become part of routine maternal healthcare.

Every family deserves the chance to know before it's too late.

How do we make that chance available to everyone? Do tell us in the comments below..

It's always special when our partners take the time to meet the children and families whose lives they are helping change.

We were delighted to welcome Ms. Jayita Naha and Mr. Anil Katewad from the NIIF Infrastructure Finance Limited CSR Team to Sankalp India Foundation's Bone Marrow Transplant Centre in Bengaluru.

During their visit, they experienced firsthand how the infrastructure supported through NIIF Infrastructure Finance Limited's CSR initiative—including the PBSC Machine, Ventilators, and Luminex Platform is strengthening transplant care and helping children receive timely, life-saving treatment.

The most meaningful moments came through conversations with our beneficiaries and their families, where the true impact of this partnership could be seen beyond the equipment in every smile, every story, and every life touched.

We are deeply grateful to NIIF Infrastructure Finance Limited for their trust and continued support in helping us transform the lives of children battling blood disorders.

Together, let's give life a better chance ❤️🩸

A breakthrough changes lives. A system changes generations.

Across India, we've seen what's possible in the prevention, care and cure of thalassemia and sickle cell disease. The challenge today isn't proving that it can be done, but it's ensuring that every child, regardless of where they are born, has access to the same chance at a healthy future.
That calls for more than good intentions. It calls for systems that are built to last, grow and reach everyone.

In this edition of Ignited Minds, R. N. Prasad shares why lasting impact depends on the right combination of capability, capacity and commitment.
As India works towards a future free from thalassemia and sickle cell disease, one question remains:
How do we turn isolated successes into systems that serve every child?
