Jahanpanah Forest Actual site (under-construction) images Jahanpanah Forest A sprawling 435 acres of green land, the Jahanpanah Forest manages to take you away from the city’s hustle and bustle to cradle you in its lap of nature. The silence isn’t too bad, when you’re walking amongst the company of the fauna. This forest is blessed with ornamental trees which only get thicker as you move deeper into the woods, with deciduous trees like Ber, Ronjh and Khair. Due to this blessing of fauna, which is just west of King’s Court and with an 8-acre DDA park to the south, one can actually feel the drop in the ambient temperature, making it a perfect outdoor location for sporting activities, brisk walks and fresh air. Many parts of Delhi have tiny particles called PM 2.5 that reduce visibility and cause the air to appear hazy. PM 2.5, together with depleting ozone layer, is considered quite unhealthy. According to Project Director, System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), greenery can help in reducing the urban heat island effect which causes air pollution levels to rise. Green belts can stop the windblown dust from entering the neighbourhood and absorb Carbon Dioxide, thus helping in controlling the temperature from rising. With Jahanpanah Forest so close to King’s Court, you can immerse in the splendour of nature while being healthy at the same time.

DLF Foundation in collaboration with Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) and BloodConnect organised blood donation camps from 8th June to 12th June to observe the annual World Blood Donor Day on 14th June, 2015. More than 1024 units of blood were collected at the camps with hundreds of young enthusiastic professionals turning out in large numbers to donate blood at nine different camps across the Cyber City. “I had donated blood last year too and I believe that it is my duty to donate blood and save lives. Donating blood is a simple and painless procedure, and such drives sensitize people,” said Naina Arora, HR Executive, Randstand. Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner T.L. Satyaprakash too donated blood on the last day of the camp. The collected units of blood were donated to different hospitals of the Delhi NCR such as AIIMS, Safdarjung Hospital, Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Lady Hardinge Memorial Hospital and Red Cross Society. “The rise in the surgeries conducted in super-specialty hospitals has led to an increase in the demand for blood. Such blood donation camps should be organised regularly to meet the rising demand,” said Mr. Satyaprakash. DLF Foundation firmly believes that there is an increasing need to organise such blood donation camps and sensitise and educate people on blood donation. The blood donation drive, a community-focused initiative, now in its third year, is held annually where employees and residents of Gurgaon donate blood tosave lives. Ritesh Sinha, Associate Director, DLF Foundation, said, “Safe blood supplies are scarce, specially in India. The World Blood Donor Day is an occasion to thank donors and raise awareness on the problem. DLF Foundation is delighted to collaborate once again with SABIC, and it is heartening to see professionals and residents of Gurgaon turning up in large numbers to support the noble cause.” According to the World Health Organization, India needs a minimum of 12 million units of blood to meet its basic requirement, with Delhi/NCR alone facing an annual shortage of 100,000 units of blood. Blood donation helps meet only about 75 percent of the national requirement.

DLF Skill Programme Helps Youth Find Employment DLF Foundation’s Skill Programme has gone a long way in achieving its primary objective – increase in employment among marginalised youth through vocational training programmes. A whopping 50 percent of the 13,000 underprivileged youth, who have been trained in 36 well-equipped skill development training centres across the country, have been placed with over 50 reputed brands in the industry. In recent placement drives organised across all centres, trained youth were hired by leading companies including Ma Foi Management, TVS Logistics Limited, KFC Yum Restaurants, Eureka Forbes, Renault Nissan India, Hinduja Global Solutions and Caterpillar India Private Limited, Serco BPO and Perfetti. The recruitment drive offered a platform to the organisations to meet the candidates and employ skilled and committed youth. Officials from Rural Shores visited DLF Skill Training Centres in Andhra Pradesh and recruited 100 candidates out of 175 interviewed. LE Infra officials hired 20 candidates from the 65 interviewed at the DLF Skill Training Centre in Sriperambudur. K. Murali Mohan of Viveks Limited, leading consumer electronics and home appliances retail chain, said, “The industry is fast expanding, and we are on the lookout for skilled manpower. DLF Skill Training Centres focus on providing employment readiness skills to youth. It makes our recruitment process easier.” CII and McKinsey have recognized Viveks Limited as one of the ‘Most Trusted’ brands. Candidates register during a Placement Drive Skill Development Programme In India, where the dropout rate from schools is very high and the youth is mostly unskilled and lacks relevant jobs skills, Mani benefitted enormously from the DLF Skill Programme conducted in partnership with other vocational training organisations. Mani’s parents who are daily wagers struggled to make both ends meet, but they never compromised on their son’s education. Mani, however, could not clear his class X exams even after four attempts. “I lacked focus in school as I could not escape from the hardships my family was going through due to poverty,” said the 18-year-old. His life had come to a standstill when his family and friends suggested he pursued a technical programme. He joined DLF Training Centre in Chennai and enrolled for the Air-conditioning Mechanic Programme. Now, he is working at BMC AC World and earning Rs.15000 a month. Koteeswaran S, whose father is an auto driver, has a similar story to share. The 18-year-old failed his class X exams several times before joining DLF Skill Centre, Tiruvallur. After he completed the short-term technical course, he got recruited as a service engineer, at Ahdhitya Core Industries. He is now earning Rs.8,000 a month. For Mani and Koteeswaran, their respective jobs have enabled them to support themselves and their families, thus permanently breaking the vicious cycle of poverty. Being an employment assured programme, the Skill Development Programme places trained youth with the leading corporate brands such as Reliance Fresh, Shashi Garments, Lakme, McDonalds, ICICI, HDFC, CNG PG Product, Future Group Pvt. Ltd., Pizza Hut, Domino’s, Godrej, Aditya Birla Retails Pvt. Ltd. and Sagar Ratna Restaurant, among others. Many youth have also started their ventures. ‘Skill a Million’ Programme DLF Foundation’s flagship programme ‘Skill a Million’ has a clear mandate of linking learning with employment and training thousands of young people in India. The skill centres impart industry-based vocational skill training through a mix of unique models including onsite ‘earn and learn’ platforms. An interactive alumni network and in-house career Candidates take a written evaluation test for a placement drive training help young people develop a better understanding of their own potential and skills before they strategise to leverage these in the changing job market.

Mona is one such entrepreneur. The 24-year-old enrolled herself for a vocational training course in Beauty and Haircare at DLF training centre in her village Chakarpur, Gurgaon. Mona said, “The Beauty and Haircare course changed my life. The course encouraged me and boosted my confidence immensely. I have opened my own beauty parlour and earn Rs. 9000 per month. I am able to look after my family of two brothers and father and mother. In the future, I want to set up a training centre and help needy girls like me”. The programme is focused on providing soft skills training and job placement to poor unemployed youth. In an effort to close the skills gaps in various sectors, the programme will support the Government of India in achieving its overall target - train 500 million Indians by 2022.
