Remembering Mahatma Gandhi and celebrating a legacy rooted in service, compassion and community.

Gandhi Ji showed us that meaningful change begins with small acts of service and grows when communities come together with purpose.

At Hartek Foundation, we carry this spirit forward by working alongside communities to create opportunities, strengthen lives and build a more empowered, sustainable future.

This Gandhi Jayanti, we celebrate the power of service to create change - one community, one initiative, one step at a time.

Happy Gandhi Jayanti!

Hartek Foundation Marks World Environmental Health Day with Waste Management & Tree Plantation Drive

On World Environmental Health Day, Hartek Foundation took a meaningful step towards building cleaner, greener, and healthier communities by installing 50 dry and wet waste dustbins across the villages of Mirzapur and Gochar, benefiting nearly 3,000 villagers.

As part of the initiative, a tree plantation drive was also conducted under the jurisdiction of the Sisma Range, Department of Forest and Wildlife, Government of Punjab, reinforcing the importance of environmental stewardship at the grassroots level.

Women members of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) joined the Sarpanches of both villages to understand local waste-management practices and create awareness among residents on the appropriate use of the dustbins. Source segregation of dry and wet waste can contribute to cleaner surroundings and healthier communities, while tree plantation supports improved air quality and environmental sustainability.

At Hartek Foundation, we believe that healthy communities begin with healthy environments. Together, let us work towards communities where environmental health, dignity, opportunity, and sustainability go hand in hand.

Hartek Foundation Partners with Punjab Police for QPR Su***de Prevention Gatekeeper Training

Hartek Foundation, in collaboration with the Community Affairs Division of Punjab Police, organised a QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Su***de Prevention Gatekeeper Training on 18th September,2026 at Punjab Police Officers Institute (PPOI), Sector 32, Chandigarh.

The programme was conducted under the leadership and guidance of Ms. Gurpreet Kaur Deo, IPS, Special DGP, Community Affairs Division, Punjab Police, whose continued support has been instrumental in strengthening initiatives focused on mental health awareness, prevention, and community-oriented policing.

Chief Guest Sh. Arun Pal Singh, IPS, ADGP-cum-MD, PPHC, delivered the inaugural address and introduced participants to the QPR framework, emphasising self-awareness, mental wellbeing and practical techniques for improving focus and concentration.

Ms. Harkirat Kaur, CEO, Hartek Foundation,opened the proceedings with a warm welcome and articulated the programme's objective of making conversations around mental health more open, accessible, and stigma free.

The training was facilitated by Mr. Sachin Chitambaran and Ms. Reenu from The Connect Hut, covering the fundamentals of suicidality and su***de prevention. Referring to the NCRB’s Accidental Deaths & Su***des in India 2024 report, the trainers highlighted that 1,70,746 deaths by su***de were recorded in India in 2024, while emphasising the importance of looking beyond reported deaths and recognising distress.

A key message was the courage to ask directly, “Are you having suicidal thoughts?” — creating an opportunity for conversation, connection and timely support.

The programme concluded with remarks from Ms. Prabhjot Kaur, PPS, Joint Director, Vigilance, who highlighted the importance of such training for police personnel in recognising signs of distress among others while being mindful of their own mental wellbeing.

Through this initiative, Hartek Foundation and Punjab Police reaffirm their shared commitment to making mental health conversations simple, accessible and stigma-free for the community and for those who serve it.

Supporting Mobility, Enabling Possibilities.

Hartek Foundation is proud to support Narayan Seva Sansthan to empower persons with disabilities through the distribution of 100 artificial limbs under the Power to Serve initiative.

The need for such support is significant. According to the Government of India, 2.68 crore persons with disabilities were recorded in the 2011 Census, accounting for 2.21% of the country’s population. Globally, the World Health Organization estimates that 1.3 billion people—nearly 1 in 6 people—experience significant disability.

For many persons with disabilities, access to appropriate assistive devices can make a meaningful difference in mobility, independence, participation, and everyday life. That is why initiatives supporting mobility are not just about providing an artificial limb — they are about creating opportunities to live with greater confidence, dignity, and self-reliance.

Through the distribution of 100 artificial limbs, this initiative aims to help individuals take meaningful steps towards greater independence and pursue their aspirations without being defined by physical limitations.

At Hartek Foundation, we believe that inclusion is not just a value we speak about — it is something we act upon. Because every step towards independence matters, every opportunity matters, and every person deserves the support to move forward.

True service to society begins with compassion, unity, and collective action - values deeply rooted in the timeless teachings of Shri Krishna.

Janmashtami is a powerful reminder that real impact is created when communities come together to uplift one another. Just as the iconic Dahi Handi human pyramid symbolizes trust, collaboration, and working together toward a higher purpose, Hartek Foundation’s social initiatives rely on the strength of collective effort. Under our mission of 'Power to Serve', whether empowering youth, advancing gender equality, delivering healthcare access, or supporting disaster-affected families, we believe sustainable change happens when every hand contributes to building up the next generation. This Janmashtami, let us honor the spirit of selfless service by nurturing compassion, empowering lives, and paving the way for a brighter, more equitable tomorrow.

Hartek Foundation wishes everyone a blessed, joyful, and meaningful Krishna Janmashtami.

Hartek Foundation conducted an awareness session at Government High School, reaching 113 students from villages in Ropar.

Menstrual health and hygiene often remain topics hidden in silence, especially in rural and semi-urban communities where access to accurate information is limited. This session aimed to address that very gap, creating an open and safe space for students to learn and ask questions.
The session, in collaboration with FPAI Mohali, focused on menstrual health and hygiene, ensuring that boys were equally engaged in the conversation to foster empathy and shared responsibility. Beyond reproductive health, the discussion extended to the importance of balanced diet and regular exercise at a young age, highlighting how proper nutrition can help reduce anemia among adolescents — a concern that remains widespread among youth in these regions.
