Mission statement:	Providing life-changing experience of participatory governance through Neighborhood Parliaments of children, youth and grownups, and their multi-tier global federations. NCN's focus is the child, especially the girl child, street child and disabled child. The family of the child is the medium through which the development takes place. Organisation and sensitisation of the community is the approach through which empowerment, capacity building and social transformation are attempted. To identify and work alongside the economically and socially deprived, the physically and mentally challenged - starting with children, so that they become educated, skilled and aware. Enable them to be self-reliant and enjoy a healthy, dignified and sustainable quality of life And to that end, act as a resource to and collaborate with other agencies - governmental or non-governmental, as well as suitably intervene in policy formulation. To empower the underprivileged women, children, elderly and physically challenged individuals in enriching their lives through holistic development. We empower these underprivileged children, youth and women to grow ahead in life by giving them applicable education, providing them innovations in healthcare facilities and livelihood programs that are focused on the market. At NCN we deploy the best possible line of attack and expertise to achieve the return on our ‘social’ investments. In order to help women and youths with initiatives that they have undertaken, we help businesses link with social development initiatives. We also educate privileged children, youngsters and citizens to encourage change in the society that is civic driven. We have a strong believe that unless and until, you, and the society you live in doesn’t take a hands-on part in this process of development, a revolutions of sorts will not happen.
