Transforming Rural India Foundation

Our Vision: At the Transforming Rural India Foundation (TRIF), we envision a future where every individual, especially those in the most marginalized Read more regions, lives in dignity, free from poverty and inequality. We aspire towards a tomorrow where every locality, no matter how remote or challenged, transforms into a thriving, vibrant community. This is the essence of Thoughtful Tarakki—a path that prioritizes the well-being of people and the places they inhabit. Our Mission: Guided by the Regenerative Development Manifesto, our mission is to democratize development. We staunchly believe that communities possess the innate power to chart their trajectory of progress. Their potential, when unshackled, can overcome the most rigid structural barriers, ensuring sustainable development driven by genuine needs and aspirations. With a spirit of "can-do-ness", we stimulate these communities to address and surmount obstacles, be it limited access to knowledge or the challenges of adopting evidence-based practices. Our Approach: Since 2016, TRIF has been at the forefront of pioneering an integrated, grassroots approach towards rural development. Today, while our roots remain grounded in fostering multi-sector changes through collaborations with community-based institutes like SHGs, PRIs, and FLWs, our wings have embraced the broader ethos of Regenerative Development. Our Legacy: Registered in 2016 as a non-profit under section 8 company act, TRI is helmed by distinguished individuals with vast development experience. Our advisory board, headed by Ms. Bharti Gupta Ramola, and our statutory board led by Dr. Sanjiv Phansalkar, embody our commitment to excellence and impact. Operational leadership, delivered by Anish Kumar and Anirban Ghose, anchors our initiatives in real-world challenges and solutions.
