Access to appropriate psychological care, developmental intervention and specialized educational support remains a challenge for many children and families in India. Dr. Pavan Kumar, Founder and Director of NORA Foundation, is committed to addressing these challenges through initiatives in health, education and welfare.
With an M.Phil. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, Dr. Pavan is an RCI-licensed Clinical Psychologist with professional experience in psychological assessment, child development and disability rehabilitation. His career spans government hospitals, clinical settings and multidisciplinary rehabilitation services.
Throughout his career, Dr. Pavan has worked with individuals and families across clinical psychology,
mental health and disability rehabilitation settings. His professional experience includes:
Clinical and psychological services.
Clinical experience in a healthcare setting.
Clinical and rehabilitation experience.
Experience in managing multidisciplinary rehabilitation services and centers, including leadership as Head of Department.

These experiences have strengthened his understanding of psychological care, developmental needs, multidisciplinary rehabilitation and the challenges families face when seeking appropriate support.
Throughout his professional journey, Dr. Pavan has encountered families navigating the emotional, practical and financial challenges associated with raising children with developmental disabilities. Accessing appropriate assessments, therapies and specialized education can be difficult for families facing financial constraints or limited access to services.
Recognizing these challenges, he envisioned an organization that would help reduce barriers to developmental support and create more opportunities for children and families.
This vision led to the establishment of NORA Foundation, with a commitment to promoting early childhood development, reaching underserved communities, improving access to developmental intervention and supporting children through special education and life skills development.
A Commitment to Every Child's PotentialDr. Pavan believes that every child deserves opportunities to learn, develop their abilities and live with dignity, regardless of disability or family circumstances.

The foundation's long-term vision also includes skill development and vocational training to help individuals with disabilities build practical abilities, explore suitable employment opportunities and work towards greater independence.
His Vision for the FutureDr. Pavan aims to strengthen access to developmental and educational support while promoting inclusion, dignity and equal opportunities for children and individuals with disabilities.
Through collaboration with families, professionals, donors, institutions and communities, he hopes to create lasting opportunities for individuals to develop their abilities, build confidence and participate meaningfully in society.
