Our Work

It is a certainty now that India is emerging from the shadows of poverty. We have a booming defence sector, an assured and skillful workforce, along with a plethora of billionaires getting India Inc. on the world map of development, but the rural sector is where a lot of work and upliftment still needs to be done. While the governments of the nation and a lot of non-profit organizations have always run programs for getting the rural populations to play a more active role in the rise of India, more often than not, the simple folks generally stick to farming or menial jobs in nearby towns and cities.

According to developmental experts, the problem lies in the way most social upliftment programmes are formulated. They are more or less focusing on negating the effects of underdevelopment and not really concentrating on the causes. Most programmes are centered around one aspect there would be programs solely working on women's empowerment; some would work on education, others on farming-related issues.

Viewing these programmes from the perspective of a rural dweller, one finds that for holistic development, an individual or family would require to enroll in multiple programmes involving multiple centers. Abhiyan - Ek Pahal Foundation addresses this issue by incepting a unique 360-degree developmental model.

Being a non-profit, non-governmental collective, Abhiyan - Ek Pahal Foundation has identified the key areas of operations that address all the aspects of Social Development, Education, Rural Development, and Health form the foundation of this integrated approach.

It is our unshakeable belief that once quality education (academic and skill-based) is instituted for children from economically-backward sections of our villages, a long-lasting empowerment takes place. We are also concentrating on health & nutrition for both children and adults as we believe a healthy and disease-free life enables people to work towards the future more efficiently. Along with these programmes, we intend to help rural India with the development of infrastructure like shelters for livestock, and agriculture-related constructions like seed and harvest storage points, along with a strong emphasis on developing a culture of sustainable farming practices in our villages.
