Tarini Malhotra, a 16-year-old student at The Shri Ram School, Moulsari Campus, Gurugram and the Founder of Nai Subah Foundation has bagged the prestigious Diana award for providing opportunities for society’s most marginalised groups.

The organisation is run by like-minded, sensitive young people to change lives, eradicate darkness, and ushering in a “nai subah,” or a new dawn. Over the past 2 years, Nai Subah Foundation has worked tirelessly to create employment opportunities for India’s neurodivergent population, especially those with autism spectrum disorders and other neurological conditions. Tarini’s vision is to ensure that no one is left behind, and they have successfully partnered with companies to generate meaningful work, raise funds, develop innovative models, and create awareness about neurodiversity.

Expressing her joy on receiving the coveted award, Tarini Malhotra said “As a next-gen changemaker, who wants to create a better and more inclusive community for the neurodiverse, the world is often a hostile, unwelcoming place. Recognition from The Diana Award provides me with the inspiration to carry on building the transformative journey. Further, it enhances the credibility of our start-up, helps to open doors and develops more meaningful networks that can enable and enrich Nai Subah Foundation’s projects in a multitude of ways.”
