Its prime objective is to create and support meaningful activities through innovative institutions to address some of India’s most pressing developmental challenges. The three-pronged strategy of Foundation includes direct engagement, collaborations through partnerships and leveraging technology to create an ecosystem of development, comprising leaders of tomorrow who nudge communities to a more sustainable future.

Over the years, our Foundation’s initiatives have continued to evolve, while remaining responsive to the ever-changing needs of society. The Foundation is currently focusing on Rural Transformation, Health and Education, Sports for Development, Disaster Management, Women Empowerment, Arts, Culture & Heritage and Urban Renewal.

To maximize its reach and improve outcomes, Foundation has also established strategic partnerships with organizations that have the technical expertise and experience to undertake various programmes in the identified focus areas of operation. The philanthropic world is moving away from its initial role of mainly alleviating personal hardships and poverty through individual, NGO or institutional grant support for this purpose. In this spirit, the traditional sectoral approach which saw the Trusts working mainly through NGOs has been broadened to include being an active participant in devising long term sustainable strategy and taking greater responsibility for the outcomes of its interventions.

In recent years, Gramin Vikas Shikshan Sansthahas also adopted an approach that focuses on national issues that impact the lives of many. We are collaborating to synergize efforts to enable a holistic view and ensure sustainable development, thereby attempting to make a difference in the lives of the marginalized and the underprivileged. The Trust have also identified core issues like Health, Youth Development, Eradication of Poverty, Education using state-of-the-art technology solutions which would impact future generations and which needed to be addressed. The response from the Government and the communities to the efforts of the Trusts has been encouraging. The Trusts are no longer being perceived merely as donors, but are also being recognized for their organizational assistance and mentorship.

Currently, the Trust’s work is spread across a state. This Annual Report provides an overview of the activities of last year. In ending, I would like to thank the teams across the Trust that have put in great efforts over the year and have contributed to the transformation in the Trusts’ focus and perspective. Our endeavor will be, more than ever before, to enhance the quality of life in the communities we touch.
