In recognition of its sustained efforts to strengthen family-based care systems, Miracle Foundation India was honoured at Bal Mahotsav–2026 in Nagpur, Maharashtra, on January 10, 2026. Organized by the Department of Women and Child Development, Nagpur, the recognition acknowledged the organization’s continued capacity-building and training support to government systems, helping ensure children grow up in safe and nurturing family environments.

Building on this strong government partnership, on Youth Day, January 12, 2026, the Department of Women and Child Development, Akola, Maharashtra, in collaboration with Miracle Foundation India and supported by Vipla Foundation, organized a Career Guidance Program for 91 youth, which included care-experienced young people and those transitioning from Child Care Institutions. The program provided career counselling, exposure to self-employment opportunities, and guidance on financial systems and skill-building programs. Experts from the District Industries Centre and the banking sector shared insights on entrepreneurship, loans, interview skills, and job preparedness, empowering youth, especially those without strong family support, to build sustainable careers and transition into adulthood with dignity and self-reliance.

Continuing this momentum, on January 21, 2026, Miracle Foundation India, in collaboration with the District Child Protection Unit and local departments in Belagavi, Karnataka, organized a Youth Enablement consultation for 35 youth from vulnerable communities, including care-experienced youth. The sessions focused on career pathways, government schemes, and essential life skills, while connecting youth to resume support and mentorship, ensuring they are supported in their journey toward independent futures.

Together, these initiatives reflect a coordinated approach to strengthening government systems while enabling care-experienced youth with the guidance and resources needed for long-term independence.
