Who are Nai Disha?

Nai Disha Educational and Cultural Society (Nai Disha) is an 18-years-old non-profit organization based in Delhi, focusing on community development through Education, Skills for the youth, and Women empowerment.

Nai Disha believes in the basic social principle that everyone should have access to quality education and equal opportunities, irrespective of their birth or social status.

Nai Disha aspires to equip each individual with appropriate life skills to contribute positively to their growth and the larger family. The beneficiaries consist of children, youth, and women from migratory families who belong to society’s economically weak and backward strata.

Nai Disha operates an empowerment program for women who are economically dependent on their spouses, providing them with a platform to attend courses on skill development to improve their employability and ultimately become financially independent.

Approximate cost

You should expect to spend about £1800 for eight weeks - this covers costs for food and accommodation, as well as local travel. This includes the £200 programme fee payable for Camvol support.

In addition to these local costs, volunteers will need to book return flights to India (typically about £750 if booked early), and apply for an appropriate visa, as required by the Indian High Commission (for visa charges, please check the Indian visa facilitation service website for exact fees).

Vaccination and other medical costs have NOT been included in estimated costs, and applicants should take this into account while planning their budgets. If you intend to travel for recreation and tourism, these costs will be additional, so please budget accordingly.

Some financial support for summer charitable work, internships and volunteering is available via Colleges and from the University. If selected, the Camvol Director can advise about funding opportunities.
