DHAN Foundation	Learn more about DHAN

DHAN Foundation and the thematic institutions promoted together form the DHAN Foundation. DHAN Foundation is a creative concept to nurture and preserve the culture of collegiality, mutuality and solidarity. Shared purpose, core values and resources (human, financial and physical resources) bind the DHAN Foundation. DHAN Foundation as the parent institution would guide, support and regulate its family institutions on their mission, policies, strategies and values. Each institution would define its `own unique' space with synergy.
