The HSCI-GTU Partnership
Since its inception in 2018, HSCI has enjoyed a close consultative relationship with the Graduate Theological Union (GTU). It has also been a highly productive partnership towards the training of spiritual care providers. GTU is among the world's most prestigious theological universities.
The first ever pathway to Hindu chaplaincy was established in 2021, with the combination of the CHT course of HSCI and ICP course of GTU. In early years, the Motwani-Jadeja Foundation (mjf.world) provided fellowships to kick start the admissions to the GTU inter religious chaplaincy course. The first two Hindu graduates of this program in 2023 were Ms. Neeti Soota and Ms. Usha Narasimhan, who continue to be active in teaching and development of HSCI services.
We expect the GTU partnership will continue to play a vital role towards HSCI aspirations to create a global network of 108 Hindu chaplains and 1008 Hindu Counselors (CHT’s). For its part, HSCI will support spiritual care education programs and chaplaincy services on its video platform called Traya Care Services.
