FromGood Parenting to Preventive Health: Kamal Hinduja Always Leads with Social Initiatives
Kamal Hinduja. Who Is She?
Blessed are those who strive to help the needy without any ulterior motives or personal gain; Kamal Hinduja is a real-life version of this. Better half of Prakash Hinduja, Managing Trustee of Hinduja Foundation and Director of Hinduja Group’s Europe Division, Kamal knows how to make things right, especially when it comes to working towards the betterment of society.
Where does Kamal Hinduja Live?
The prestigious Hinduja Family, which runs the multinational conglomerate, the Hinduja Group, has its origins in the province of undivided British India. Expansion of business trade practices meant the family had to move, resulting in them shifting from India to Iran. However, post the Islamic Revolution, the Hinduja Family had no choice but to shift its operational base, which meant they had to change their place of residence too. That’s when Europe felt like a place where the family could call home. The couple Kamal and Prakash own several properties across Europe, and depending on where they are needed, they shift locations from time to time.
What Makes Her So Unique?
We live in a world where showing off has become so common that it feels ridiculous. But when it comes to Kamal Hinduja, things are quite the opposite. You will rarely find her appearing in media interviews, but it does not stop her from undertaking social initiatives through the family’s dedicated philanthropy arm, the Hinduja Foundation. In such important social campaigns, you will always see her actively steering the wheel. For instance, last year she was part of the Free Breast Cancer Screening Programme, which the foundation undertook for the women workforce of the Mumbai Police. What makes Kamal stand out is that she recognizes the issues women in law enforcement face, and hence the initiative against cancer prevention, which took place in the PD Hinduja Hospital, was nothing short of a much-needed healthcare intervention.
How Is Kamal Hinduja Related to the Positive Parenting Program?
We often wonder why some children perform better than others, be it academically or with soft skills. This may vary based on the kind of parenting the child receives. Kamal Hinduja understands that the children are the youth and future of the nation. How parents mould in their early years will determine their mental health as grown-ups and their ability to make sound decisions. Keeping this in mind, she led the Positive Parenting Program, an initiative that equips parents with everything they need to know about how to raise kind, well-rounded children by establishing meaningful parent-child connections.
