About Us - NCSS

India’s Leading School Safety Community

Where It All Started

NCSS was born from a simple but urgent truth: In India, school safety is still inconsistent, unclear, and dangerously reactive — despite the existence of laws and policies meant to protect children.

Many schools want to do better, but don’t know where to start. Some lack the tools or training. Others don’t fully grasp what true safety looks like — especially when it comes to emotional well-being, trusted reporting systems, and staff readiness.

That’s where we stepped in — not to complicate the landscape, but to simplify it. To turn scattered guidelines into structured support. To move safety from the margins of policy into the heart of everyday school life.

From one-on-one advisory calls to national-level frameworks, NCSS has grown into a collective — a movement of educators, legal minds, mental health professionals, and institutions — all united by one belief:

No child’s safety should depend on luck, geography, or guesswork.

Safety Is Not a Service. It’s a Standard.

We’re uniting schools, experts, and citizens to reimagine how India protects its children.

NCSS Vision

To build a nationwide ecosystem where child protection is not just promised but practiced — through shared standards, strong systems, and a community that refuses to leave any child behind.
NCSS — Because a safe school is not a privilege. It is a child’s right. And a nation’s duty.

NCSS Mission

An Architect of the Future.

To reimagine school safety as the bedrock of a just society by:
• Setting bold national frameworks rooted in children’s rights
• Forging tools, laws, and cultures that put children at the center
• Building a force of educators, parents, leaders, and young people who will not settle for silence, fear, or invisibility
• And holding every institution — public or private — accountable to the promise of protection, participation, and possibility

Our Story

NCSS was born out of a pressing truth — that despite multiple laws, policies, and well-intentioned efforts, school safety in India remains inconsistent, unclear, and largely reactive.

While some schools want to act, they don’t know how. Others lack the resources or guidance. Most are simply unaware of what safety truly requires — especially in areas like emotional well-being, reporting mechanisms, and teacher preparedness.

That’s where we stepped in — not to add more complexity, but to bring clarity, structure, and support. From one-on-one advisory calls to national-level frameworks, NCSS has grown into a movement of educators, experts, and institutions who believe that no child’s safety should depend on luck or location.

Meet the Force Behind the Movement

Not just a team. A taskforce. A national collective rewriting the rules of school safety.

Our team includes:

Policy visionaries who’ve shaped national frameworks on child rights and protection.
On-ground trainers who’ve worked with thousands of educators where no formal safety existed.
Legal and forensic experts who’ve handled real cases and now design systems to prevent them.
Mental health champions who center safety protocols around emotional well-being.
Education leaders who help schools move from reactive checklists to proactive cultures.

Change doesn’t happen overnight. But with the right people, it does happen.
