Creating Youth Champions of Change
Equipping students to discover and fulfill their ambition in the challenging new world, supporting inclusiveness and sustainability.
What are we about?
Our Beliefs
'Inclusiveness' 'Sustainable Growth' 'Youth is key'
We are building a growing community of conscious Global Citizens
Our upcoming generation is part of a fiercely competitive, fast paced world characterized by individualism and instant gratification. There is a need for sensitizing them to realities and issues beyond themselves, connecting them with the world and reflecting on it ; eventually to result in positive actions for changing the world around them.
We believe in sharing perspectives, and letting them reflect on issues that they naturally gravitate towards

Soch
Soch (Think) is a thought provoking film on the alienation of Inclusion in Urban India. The park where various scenes are depicted is a reflection of the society, or the world that we live in. The short film seeks to show the vibrant, living modern communities of India, where each story is inspired by research and experiences of prejudices and subconscious discrimination.
The Others
The Others depicts the marginalisation of people and various prejudices associated with class. This aims to create a sense of awareness about inclusion and mitigate inequality.

Parent Testimonials
Dipti Kurup
Mother of Adya, Class IX , Pathways School, Baliyawas
Adya developed an understanding of how blessed she is to have it all ... and genuinely understanding the concept of gratitude. This is a program that she immensely enjoyed. She has been inspired to take on social projects after she has gone through Orion Square's workshops.
Geetika Punchhi
Mother of Rushil, Class X, The Sriram School, Gurgam
Rushil Punchhi joined the Awakening session with Om spread a Smile. He thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was introduced to the diversity and tough conditions of a larger group of our society. As a parent I felt he became more empathetic and sensitive in dealing with extreme situations and adjusting to circumstances of people around him. The awakening program has brought him the awareness to be generous and understanding that hard work is required no matter what. I see him as a more responsible citizen as I see him noticing even the smallest things around us related to social issues, environment and poverty. He now has opinion about these situations and a sense of maturity to react to adverse circumstances. I would highly recommend this program to teenagers and younger children as it would certainly give them perspective to see life from a different angle
Siddheshwar Wahi
Father of Nandini, Class XI, Sriram Millenium School, Noida
After my daughter Nandini joined Orion Square in its community service programme, I noticed many positive changes in her during and post her engagement with the team. For one, she was very excited to meet like minded student volunteers and be a part of a direct activity. She also became more sensitive to the challenges faced by the marginalised sections of society, especially children. And last but not the least, I saw in her a sense of being part of a larger endeavour and the satisfaction of having made a difference to society in her own small way. I feel the passion and drive of the Orion Square team brings out the best in children like my daughter. Kudos, much gratitude and good luck!
Suchitra Karnani
Mother of Tejas , Class VIII, Sriram Millennium School, Noida
I wanted my children to join “the awakening” for them to have wider perspective about life as such. Through the program I wanted them to experience a sense of gratitude about the life that we are living To my children the awakening brought about a realisation of what lies beyond the comfort of our home. It has brought an understanding of true meaning of words like “generosity”, “compassion” and “empathy”. I am deeply grateful to Jyotika and Nitin to have crafted the program with so much thought - taking children to slums, an old age Home, cancer patients and to Goonj. Visiting the places and the discussions that followed has left an everlasting imprint in their hearts
Surbhi Mehta
Mother of Rishika, Class VII, DPS International , Saket
The privilege of being born into a family that allows her to get all sorts of opportunities and never made her want for anything is a stroke of luck . It becomes important for her to understand that there are kids that are as bright , who want to avail the various opportunities but are unable to do so simply because of financial and social constraints . She has learned the responsibility to use our privilige to try and make a difference , and helps her reach a small section of the society , which she is grateful for.
