Programs

    CEF has a dream to adopt 30 more Students in the next two years. We have adopted these students from farmers or workers or orphan and they must be from below poverty line and who are very talented and scholar students who get more than 85% in 10th Std. Poor and Needy students in the community.
    Students who aim higher in education, Children of labors and workers.
    We are not only providing them food, living and education but also grooming their personality through moral education. We are striving to make these children as responsible citizens by imparting the art of living and value-based education. Creating a treasure trove of valuable youth in the future for the country is the main focus of Chetana. This will make the youth free from addiction, of good characters and capable of taking moral responsibility.

  • Empower Child through Living Values- Value Education

    Chetana Empowerment Foundation is deeply rooted in imparting the ‘Value Education’ to school going students effectively. We have been actively working to enrich students with Value Education as a national priority since 2012.
    CEF is mainly trying to address the problem of diminishing values among the school’s students (adolescents) as well as in teachers; mainly resulting in increase in problems like participation in criminal activities, addictions, excessive usage of gadgets etc. While each generation of children seems to get smarter, their emotional and social skills seem to be plummeting.
    Value Education is the solution for all types of the problems. Value erosion can be stopped only by molding the minds of the children and young. In India, education today is going through stresses and strains. It is a big social challenge for the entire society.

    Hence, Chetana Empowerment Foundation has undertaken a task of Prevention, Awareness and Counseling in the domain of ‘Value Education’.

  • Mental Wellness

    One of the core areas where CEF is working is Mental Wellness. Wellness is a relatively new paradigm in health care, and the subject of mental wellness is newer still. The study of characteristics that make up mental health is called positive psychology.
    According to the World Health Organization, mental wellness is defined as “A state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.”
    CEF is working in Mental Wellness since last 6 years through awareness and training programs.
    CEF is conducting:
    1. Life Management Skills for students and Emotional Intelligence Camp for Teachers and Professionals.
    3. Positive Parenting for parents,
    4. Stress Management Program for Corporates.

  • Chetana Vidya Sahayyata (Scholarship Program)

    Providing of Scholarship facility to the deserving students from backward areas is CEF’s main object. Further, it is our motto that financial` constraints should not be a hurdle for getting proper education.
    CEF’s aim to avail this facility of provision of scholarship facility to underprivileged students from rural areas who cannot otherwise access or afford it. These students are from the underprivileged communities and are scholars and ambitious but cannot pursue higher education because of their weak financial conditions.
    Financial problem is major factor affecting students’ further education after Std 12th
    Students’ enrollment for Higher Education in rural areas is less and rarely have the opportunity to attend college, therefore, miss out on many of the potential benefits that such an educational experience provides.
