Mrs Laila Swaminathan, President of the Navy Welfare and Wellness Association (NWWA), visited PALNA on November 5 with members of the NWWA Committee, renewing the association’s focus on child welfare through its SPARSH initiative. The visit was reported from New Delhi on November 11, 2026.
NWWA has supported PALNA since 2011. The organisation works for the care and well-being of vulnerable children, and the association’s continued involvement has supported efforts to nurture young lives.
During the visit, Mrs Swaminathan and the committee members spent time with the children, offering encouragement and support. Their interaction reflected NWWA’s concern for children in need of care and protection.
The visit was conducted under SPARSH, NWWA’s initiative for compassionate outreach and community engagement. Through such activities, the association seeks to connect with social welfare organisations and assist vulnerable sections of society.

NWWA’s welfare work extends to naval families and the wider community. Its longstanding association with PALNA reflects its contribution to children’s well-being and its emphasis on compassion and social responsibility.
The November 5 visit reaffirmed the relationship between NWWA and PALNA, as well as the association’s commitment to supporting people in need.

Through its ongoing work under SPARSH, NWWA reiterated its aim of nurturing lives, spreading happiness and contributing to a more caring and inclusive society.
