About Us
Conceptualized and created in 2005, Chandigarh-based Nirmal Hriday Education Society (NHES), a not-for-profit organization, is the brainchild of eminent educationist Dr. Sarita Manuja. NHES believes in the power of knowledge and strives to promote the progress of the nation by providing equal and quality education for people of all ages from disadvantaged communities.
Keeping pace with the changing times and realizing the importance of digital means and modes, NHES has built successful partnerships with industry giants like Intel to provide access to people at the grassroots level to learn about Artificial Intelligence. We work with historically nomadic communities like the tribals of Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, and in distinct geographies such as the North Eastern states of India, to help them become conversant with technology and become a part of the productive economy.
Private and social sectors must collaborate to provide high-quality education to transform India into a global leader and help fulfil United Nations' 2030 agenda for sustainable development. Impactful training programs, immersive workshops, and cutting-edge boot camps are the way forward to revolutionizing learning outcomes. Our goal is to provide education and empowerment to millions of Indians, ensuring a more inclusive society. We invite all to join us in our attempt to unlock a brighter future through education.
