Prime Education Health Learning Services
Since 2011, we’ve worked across India to support vulnerable children, underserved communities and families affected by crises. From treating over 11,000 patients in disaster-hit regions to reaching 10,000+ children with disabilities, 5000 for educational support and empowering more than 500 orphaned and destitute children with education and counselling, our efforts are rooted in compassion and action. Through projects like Sankalp in Lucknow, medical outreach in tribal Maharashtra, and livelihood programs for girls, we continue to bridge gaps where help is needed most.
Bhuwwaneshvari Foundation
Bhuwwaneshvari Foundation is a village-based Gurukula model rooted in the vision of transforming rural India through value-based and culture-centered education. Established in Madhya Pradesh, the Pāṭhaśālā presently educates more than fifty students from nearby villages, blending timeless Bhāratīya wisdom with modern learning to nurture holistic growth. Students engage in the study of Śāstras, Purāṇas, Bhagavad Gītā, Tarka-Śāstra, and Vaiśeṣika, alongside practical disciplines such as agriculture, business foundations, traditional martial arts, and community sustainability. This integrated approach prepares children not only for intellectual excellence but also for self-reliance, leadership, and service to society.
At the heart of our vision are twenty-four village girls who symbolize the seed of a silent educational revolution. Coming from underprivileged backgrounds, they are being nurtured as future carriers of knowledge and dharmic values. As they grow, marry, and move into different villages, each will have the ability and confidence to establish a new Pāṭhaśālā—creating a living network of empowered women transforming rural education from within. Thus, learning becomes a self-propagating movement that flows naturally through homes, families, and communities.
Our dream is to build a deep Hindu educational ecosystem — a self-sustaining chain of Gurukulas that connect villages through shared values, traditions, and self-reliant education. In the coming years, we aim to develop a complete Gurukula curriculum, from Nursery to Class 12, that harmoniously combines ancient Bhāratīya texts, modern sciences, and experiential learning. Through this model, Bhuwaneshwari Foundation aspires to offer a replicable path toward an enlightened, sustainable, and culturally rooted future for rural Bharat.

Students engage in daily Dharma-based practices, Sanskrit studies, cultural arts, and indigenous sciences, fostering a deep connection with Bharatiya paramparā (Indian tradition).
Workshops under the IKS program—covering subjects like mathematics, astronomy, Ayurveda, and Vedic philosophy—introduce learners to India’s scientific heritage. Traditional arts and martial practices such as Kalaripayattu and Mallakhamb are reintroduced to strengthen both mind and body.
The Ashram’s mission is to revive the Gurukula ecosystem for the 21st century—creating self-reliant, value-centered individuals who embody the spirit of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.” By harmonizing ancient wisdom and modern skills, Valmiki Ashram stands as a beacon for the rebirth of Bharatiya education—rooted in culture, guided by Dharma, and designed for the future.

NVLIFE PRIVATE LIMITED
This submission presents a Technology Readiness Level 6 (TRL-6) health system rooted in Vedic sciences—Swar Yog, Sankhya Philosophy, Yog Sutra of Maharishi Patanjali, and Advaita Vedanta—validated through 190 verified cases and 20,000 hours of courseware developed over 14 years.
India faces three converging crises: mental health epidemic (150M+ cases), cultural decolonization urgency, and healthcare access gaps affecting 900M rural citizens. Current paradigms rely on Western psychology and pharmaceutical interventions that address symptoms, not root causes.
Our research challenges this. We operate on three pillars: Value First, 72-Hour Proof, and Natural Reclamation. We do not impose rituals or belief systems—participants experience measurable transformation within 72 hours through breath restoration and circadian realignment, making cultural adoption organic rather than mandated.
The platform comprises: (1) Saanjh—a 42-episode animated web series delivering passive healing through storytelling; (2) Effortless Excellence—a children’s mental health program achieving 20-30% academic improvement and 80% anger reduction in 23 students; (3) AI-powered conversational diagnostics in regional languages; (4) scalable delivery via Doordarshan broadcast reaching 900M households.
Built on Yog Sutra’s four-component mind model (Mann, Chitt, Buddhi, Ahankar), the system replaces Western therapeutic frameworks with indigenous self-inquiry protocols. Content functions as medicine—books, LMS courses, and web series—eliminating dependency on clinicians while preserving cultural authenticity.
Deployment-ready for Ministry of Education and AYUSH integration, positioning India as the global hub of wellness knowledge export, reversing centuries of intellectual colonization.

Chirantana draws on these rich sources of knowledge to pave our paths to acceptance of oneself and the other. We find our roots in the principles expounded in these texts, distinguishing ourselves in our search for true self, letting go of what is assumed to be self. By building a community through intergenerational interaction, we stay roooted to the past, learning from our elders as well as adapting to the demands of the modern world. Chirantana employs introspection and discussion to foster an environment of curiosity and inquisitiveness towards the self and world.

HindiUSA
HindiUSA was formed as a non-profit volunteer organization in 2001 by a few people who wanted to promote Hindi language at the grass root level. They felt that the Indian culture, its sacraments and traditions are very much tied with Hindi and by promoting Hindi the Indian essence will live on in the younger generation.
Something which is unique and has no counterpart is not easily translatable and hence will remain viable. Hindi is the second most spoken language in the world and the rich grammar, vocabulary and wide aesthetic appeal that it has in people motivates HindiUSA volunteers to help preserve it. To do this, we have well defined syllabus and practical ways to implement it. The syllabus and teaching methodologies are reviewed periodically to provide optimum benefits to the students.
Hindi can also bring India and USA much closer. Americans can easily learn about Indian cultural heritage through Hindi in their schools and by interacting with their Indian friends.
In a short span of 15 years, HindiUSA grew from 2 students to over 4,000 and from 1 teacher to now over 350. HindiUSA never strives to win prizes or recognition. Its biggest prize is more than 500 graduates, many of whom are acting as assistant teachers and the largest Hindi family in USA.
HindiUSA is authorized to give The President’s Volunteer Service Award to deserving volunteers.
