Scope for Change

What Scope for Change does

Scope for Change is a Delhi-based non-profit NGO founded in 2020 by Perminder Singh Malik and Rakesh Kumar Rana, operating a portfolio of ten named programs across five thematic pillars: Education, Women Empowerment, Social Well-being, Environment, and Health. Its flagship 'Hamein Padhao Hamein Badhao' initiative runs three physical SFC Learning Centers in Delhi and Gurgaon that provide English, computer, and life-skills training to approximately 250 underprivileged children. Complementary programs address menstrual hygiene (Garima), women's empowerment (Iksaar), food distribution (Annapurna), environmental plantation (Prakriti), health support (Aarogya), social welfare (Anmol Khushiyan), book donation (Gyaan Ganga), and scholarships/skills (Hamein Badhna Hai). The organization is registered in India under 12A, 80G, CSR1, and Niti Aayog frameworks, enabling tax-exempt donations and corporate CSR funding.

The business model is donation-driven rather than commercial. Revenue is sourced from individual donors contributing via the website and third-party platforms (Milaap, Ketto, Impactguru, Give India, Razorpay), plus corporate CSR partnerships with mid-sized Indian firms such as Portronics, Hindware, Redbus, ESME, and Accor, alongside educational-institution tie-ups with Cambridge, Amity, FIIB, NMIMS, and others. Distribution is executed through direct community outreach, three physical learning centers, government municipal body collaborations (SDMC, MCG), and downstream partnerships with peer NGOs including Aroh Foundation, Harmony House, and Nikshay Foundation. Marketing is community-led via social media channels and CSR-aligned campaigns. There is no technology platform, API, or proprietary software product; the organization is a labor-intensive, on-the-ground social service operator rather than a technology vendor.

The organization is early-stage (founded 2020) and remains a small-footprint operation. Only two paid teachers are explicitly documented, no headcount beyond that is disclosed, revenue is not publicly reported, and there are no funding rounds on record. Recognition includes the Prestigious Community Service Award from the Delhi Minorities Commission (2020) and the Corporate Award of Excellence from the Govt. of Rajasthan (2021). Geographic expansion beyond Delhi NCR into other Indian states is stated as a strategic intent but is not yet realized.
