Objectives

Our key objectives are mentioned below:

  • To spread awareness among the rural poor regarding their common social health and economic problems. We will also form village groups to share everything more effectively.
  • To improve the economic level of the lower strata by providing appropriate credit extension in agricultural and skill-building programs.
  • To encourage self-reliance by guiding people to manage such programs on their own using the local resources and stocks in a sustainable manner.
  • To provide help during natural calamities and during distress.
  • To promote cultural actions in a localized manner. This will help to encourage interaction at all levels in society.
  • To initiate or undertake research, field study, documentation, and debate on issues that concern the development of communities.
  • To promote the use of renewable and alternative sources of energy.
  • To teach morals to the children so as to encourage them to adopt value-based behavioral patterns.
  • To provide formal, non-formal, and vocational education to all those who need it and to educate the illiterates.
