Meet Our Core Team
Prof Dr Renu Gulati
Director & Founder
I have taught with passion for 40 years of my life and I have loved every part of the process of imparting knowledge to the young minds. With teaching, I have also given it my all to studying and researching and to continually gaining a better understanding of the evolving problems in the field of Child Development. I have involved myself in projects with all age groups of children. I have contributed academically by conducting and publishing various researches and creating iterary resources as well as through workshops and lectures. I strongly believe that if need based interventions are provided to children with different abilities, it can change the course of their lives.
Sound mental health for everyone is something I wish for dearly and so I dedicated myself to this cause by becoming a part of the counseling community. I have always been determined to leave no stone unturned and I intend to carry on with the same fervor with Suknit.
I have realized that an accelerated change in the social system, parents feel lost and desperately require a support system, hence Suknit.
After helping set up day care centers and crèches and setting up a nursery school at the Department of Human Development and Childhood studies, I am setting up Suknit with the hope of bridging the gaps in this field that I see today.
Dr Prachi Sinha
Academic Director and Founding Member
Very early in life, I discovered that my mission lies in working with children. It was just something that gave me immense joy. So I set forth on the path of pursuing my masters in Human Development and Childhood Studies to equip myself with the right know how. I have always been excited about learning something new which took me to USA to learn and work with National Association for Child Development. I came back to India and continued their work here.
My strength lies in planning and executing individualized and directed interventions with children and young adults. In the last two decades, I have gained a good understanding of the basic similarities and the differences in the child rearing practices of the west and our nation and I believe a blend of both is required in raising confident and responsible children. I have done the same in raising my two boys and I love the results. I strongly believe that we all have the potential to do more despite a label and that the way to achieve that is through individualizing the intervention services.
I received an Honorary Doctorate from an international university in Parenting and Child Development for the initiative I took in my field of work took during the two lockdowns. While I continue to work with individuals on behaviour and mental health, conduct workshops for parents and teachers and Indian PSU’s/ corporates, I am determined to create a space that will be loved by all.
