Uday by HCLFoundation
HCLFoundation’s flagship urban community development programme - Uday, seeks to create green,
clean, healthy and empowered communities. Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, it is
developing an integrated solution to break the vicious cycle of urban poverty.
Defining Uday’s approach is its intrinsic belief that urban poor aspire to a life of dignity and self-
respect. With the right opportunities, they can take charge of their lives, dare to imagine a different
future and work towards it. Our strategies are carefully designed, such that they speak both to their
environment and to their ambitions.
Uday’s unique ‘Convergence’ approach brings this philosophy to life. Uniting critical stakeholders–
the state, non-profits and HCL volunteers in a rich partnership, it meets its responsibility to the
community and supports them in realising their dreams.
Aligned to HCLFoundation’s vision statement, Uday also aims to create source codes for urban socio-
economic development, prototypes, using step by step approach, convergence and dialogue with
duty bearers such that these can be adopted and scaled up by diverse set stakeholders, including
communities themselves.
Uday addresses vital issues prevalent in urban areas like access to quality education, universal access
to health, sustainable livelihood opportunities, improved water, sanitation and hygiene,
environmental conservation including enhanced green cover and solutions to city waste, through
campaigns and on ground action for positive urban transformation. Child protective strategies,
inclusion and gender transformative approaches remain fundamental.
Currently, Uday is being implemented in 11 cities in partnership with like-minded organisations,
