Working Together To Eradicate Poverty and Mitigate Climate Change in India
Let New India arise- let her arise- out of the peasants' cottage, grasping the plough; out of the huts of fisherman, the cobbler, and the sweeper. Let her spring from the grocer's shop, from the oven of the fritter-seller. Let her emanate from factory, from marts and markets. Let her emerge from groves and forests, from hills and mountains. Swami Vivekananda

For the present our focus will be on four core needs of Water, Eduction, Livelihoods, and Healthcare. We will work on other issues with our members here and partners in India as and when necessary and feasible. We also intend to address the larger global issues like global warming and climate change, poverty, population, alternative energy which are important to achieve our Mission. We think that merely working at the grassroots level is not enough to achieve our desired goal of a prosperous, peaceful India and the world. We need to learn about the policies and help change them in the best interest of the masses and the planet.
We also aim to work with and support successful NGOs in India brought to our attention by our members, coorporate sector, and government bodies whenever necessary.

To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.-- Wendell Berry
