Mohammed Nizamuddin’s Goadh Foundation transforms a personal mission into a nationwide campaign to protect abandoned baby girls, ahead of its landmark December 3 event in New Delhi.

In a country where the birth of a daughter still invites quiet hesitation in many homes, Mohammed Nizamuddin has built a movement that refuses to let silence decide a girl's fate. Through his Goadh Foundation, Nizamuddin has turned compassion into a forceful call to action, urging India to protect and uplift every girl child.

A Mission Rooted in Pain - and Purpose

The idea for Goadh Foundation was born the day Nizamuddin read about a newborn girl abandoned in a garbage bin. That single incident stayed with him. “I kept thinking about the life she was never allowed to live,” he says. What began as heartbreak soon became a lifelong commitment: no girl should die or be discarded simply for being born.

Today, the foundation rescues abandoned infants, provides them shelter, medical care, education, and the sense of belonging every child deserves. But Nizamuddin insists the mission is bigger than rescue it is about reshaping attitudes that devalue daughters.

Preparing for a Historic Gathering on December 3

On December 3, the foundation will host a major programme at Ambedkar Auditorium, New Delhi, celebrating stories of women who have survived, led, and transformed their communities. The event aims to spark nationwide dialogue on dignity, safety, and rights of girls issues often ignored in policy, politics and public life.

What makes the programme stand out is the collective energy behind it. NGOs, volunteers, youth organisations, and academic institutions are working alongside Goadh Foundation, signalling that protecting girls is a social duty not the burden of one organisation.

A Movement That Reaches the National Stage

Goadh Foundation’s message, “Every Girl Deserves to Live,” gained national visibility when Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and MP Mamata Mohanta unveiled the campaign poster in New Delhi. Leaders across states have echoed support, recognising the urgency of ending gender-based elimination.

Nizamuddin’s message remains uncompromising:

If you cannot raise a baby girl, don’t kill her. Give her to us. We will raise her with love and dignity.

Hope Inside Every Cradle

Inside Goadh Foundation’s shelters, once-abandoned infants now grow up surrounded by care. Their smiles reflect a future earned through resilience and compassion. For Nizamuddin, saving one life is not symbolic it is generational healing. “One girl saved can change the destiny of a family,” he says.

Why This Matters Now

As India confronts persisting gender biases, the movement led by Goadh Foundation offers a reminder: the strength of a nation lies not in its economy, but in how it protects its most vulnerable.

Analysis: The growing support behind Nizamuddin’s campaign shows a shift in public consciousness. With increasing adoption, rehabilitation efforts, and awareness drives, the foundation’s upcoming nationwide programme could inspire similar initiatives across India. For policymakers, this movement also highlights the need for stronger safeguards, better reporting systems, and community-driven solutions to protect girl children.
