SOF serves as a veritable forum for qualitative dissemination of knowledge and information on the latest advances in science and technology, humanities, sports and various other streams. Conducting workshops, interactive seminars and conducting Olympiads and publication of informative, non-curriculum study material for school children are currently an essential part of the SOF portfolio.

The SOF IHO (अंतरराष्ट्रीय हिंदी ओलंपियाड) का उद्देश्य विद्यार्थियों को हिंदी भाषा का महत्व समझाना और उनमें हिंदी के लिए रुचि जगाना है।
SOF strongly believes that such Olympiads, apart from bringing out the best in the participants, also help them gain confidence for competing with the best around them in the country and internationally and contribute to personality development. Also, recognition of merit at an early age is bound to infuse a certain sense of achievement that encourages them to do even better as they advance in age.
The students are exposed to a variety of complex problems which demand a high level of analytical ability and proficiency in the use of various concepts from a cross-section of subjects, thereby invoking ingenuity in dealing with them. Since admissions to various professional institutions like IITs and Medical colleges are given on the basis of performance in competitive exams, such Olympiads also pave the way for a true understanding of the concepts that is so essential for doing well in these highly competitive exams.
Apart from the Olympiad activities, SOF also conducts seminars, workshops, and Teacher Training Programs in various cities of the country.
This way the Foundation aims at bringing about a steady and speedy change in the very way education is currently imparted in the country.
