About Vision 2035
Our journey began in 2015 , a decade-long initiative designed to catalyze sustainable change in the socio-economic status of marginalized and deprived communities living in the most challenging conditions, primarily in the rural area in Bihar, India. Following an extensive year-long consultative process, we launched a flagship project with the aim of bridging the gaps between two seemingly distinct facets of India.
Throughout the past ten years, our focus has remained in rural areas of India, where extreme poverty continues to be prevalent. However, the objectives we set forth under the Vision 2035 plan have yet to be fully realized. Even at its inception, we recognized that the first decade of the program would be just the beginning of a much longer journey required to achieve our program’s goals.
This plan, therefore, carries on the path laid out by the initial plan but with some significant adjustments. Drawing on the lessons learned from the previous program, we are revising our approach by seeking broader public engagement to cultivate a larger supporter and donor base. We are also aiming to establish more partnerships to amplify our efforts and work collectively to accomplish the ambitious goals and targets we have set for ourselves in the next decade.
