Early Intervention Setup
Identifying and supporting children with developmental delays
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF, nearly one in every 10 children in low-resource and rural areas is at risk of developing lifelong disabilities due to undiagnosed developmental delays and lack of early intervention services. Most of these cases are preventable with timely screening, therapy, and parental support.
Program Overview
Early intervention during the first 1,000 days of life can significantly reduce the severity of disabilities and improve a child’s overall development.
We are in the process of establishing a Community Early Intervention (CEI) Centre at Ramchandrapura village, Gauribidanur Taluk, Chikkaballapur district. This center aims to support 50+ children with special needs annually, offering therapeutic and special education services to prepare them for mainstream schooling.
A key component of the CEI model is the capacity building of ASHA and Anganwadi workers. Through advanced training, they are empowered to identify early developmental delays and notify our certified experts for timely assessment and intervention planning for both the child and mother.
Services Provided
- Need-based therapies such as Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Art-Based Therapeutic Services
- Nutritional meals for the child and mother to combat malnutrition
- Support to ensure exclusive breastfeeding, essential for healthy early development
Impact Goals
Support Early Intervention
Our goal is to minimize future complications by promoting early, inclusive, and holistic care within the community.
Project UDAAN
"Unleashing Dreams, Abilities & Aspirations Naturally"
As per the 2011 Census and NSSO reports, only less than 25% of persons with disabilities in rural India are employed. The lack of skill training, stigma, and accessibility severely limits their opportunities for self-reliance.
According to NFHS-5 (National Family Health Survey), 1 in 3 rural women s domestic violence. In many communities, mothers are wrongly blamed for a child’s disability or developmental delay, leading to emotional trauma and social isolation.

Project Aarogyam
Bringing Community Health Closer to Home
Nearly 65% of India’s population lives in rural areas, yet only 33% of healthcare professionals serve these communities. Many rural families must travel 30–50 kilometers or more to access even basic medical services. This leads to delayed treatment, worsening of preventable illnesses, and increased maternal and child health risks.
According to the Rural Health Statistics Report 2021–22, India s a shortfall of over 79% specialists at rural Community Health Centres (CHCs).
Why Gauribidanur Taluk Needs Project Aarogyam
Gauribidanur is witnessing a rapid socio-economic shift with over 1,500 new industries projected under the Karnataka Industrial Area Development initiative. This industrial boom has attracted a growing number of migrant laborers, many of whom lack access to even basic healthcare services.
Coupled with the geographical distance from Bangalore and the absence of regular medical infrastructure, the local population—especially women, children, and persons with disabilities—is often left vulnerable without timely medical attention.
Key Challenges
- Limited access to preventive and primary healthcare
- High need for maternal and child wellness support
- Lack of early disability screening and intervention
- Rising concerns around non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
Our Vision
- Monthly community health check-ups at accessible village hubs
- Early screening and referrals for children with developmental delays
- Maternal and child health counseling and nutritional guidance
- General medicine services, teleconsultations, and health awareness camps
- Capacity-building for local women as trained health volunteers and changemakers
Project Aarogyam is more than a health camp—it's a community-powered initiative that empowers people with the right tools, timely care, and dignity in health access.
Join Project Aarogyam
We invite individuals, health professionals, CSR partners, and institutions to collaborate with us in scaling this transformative model for rural health.
Green Mission
Plant Today. Prevent Floods Tomorrow.
Rapid construction, clogged drains, shrinking lakes, and loss of trees have led to waterlogging and frequent urban floods.
Program Overview
At Gungun Foundation, we believe nature can heal the damage we’ve caused—but only if we act now. If we continue to neglect the environment, we put our children’s future at serious risk. Tree plantation is just the beginning—nurturing the saplings until they grow is the real commitment.
Our Green Mission is more than planting. We work with schools and colleges to raise environmental awareness and encourage every participant to adopt a plant and care for it until it becomes a tree.
How You Can Be Part of the Change
- Join our plantation drives in urban and rural Bangalore
- Adopt a plant and nurture it
- Volunteer or spread awareness in your community
- Support eco-education programs with us
Join the Green Movement
This is the time to act—not tomorrow, but today. Let’s grow trees. Let’s grow responsibility.
Policy & Advocacy
Empowering Voices. Enabling Rights.
In 2016, the Government of India passed the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, a landmark law that recognizes the full range of rights for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs).
What the RPwD Act Ensures
The Act aligns with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and guarantees:
- Equal rights and non-discrimination
- Inclusive education and employment opportunities
- Accessibility in public spaces, transport, and digital platforms
- Social protection and support services
- Legal capacity and protection from abuse and exploitation
Despite legal protection, many PwDs in India are still denied their basic rights due to a lack of awareness, social stigma, and poor policy enforcement.
Our Focus
- Government bodies to implement inclusive policies
- Local authorities to ensure accessibility in infrastructure and services
- Schools and employers to promote inclusion and reasonable accommodations
- Community forums and media to challenge stigma and raise awareness
Program Activities
- Legal awareness workshops for families and caregivers
- Training sessions on disability rights and entitlements
- Advocacy campaigns on inclusive education and accessible infrastructure
- Collaboration with policymakers for better budget allocation and implementation
- Support in accessing disability certificates, pensions, and welfare schemes
