Thrust Areas
While the issues of caste related violence, atrocities, and discrimination still remain major areas of intervention; education, health, migration, livelihood, land and forest rights, right to NTFP, women empowerment and youth action form the core programme approach and development intervention. In all these programmes and interventions special emphasis is put for the causes of children and women, primarily due to their vulnerability and multiple marginalization.
Helped Raise
INDIA believes in the power of individuals to bring about lasting and sustainable changes. Over the years, we have realised that more the individuals extending solidarity, the more is the impact of our efforts. Any institutional funding comes with an intention, good or bad. For our core activities, we bank upon people's voluntary support in terms of ideas, networks, time and money.
