VISION & APPROACH
Our vision is an equitable and sustainable society where people live in peace with dignity.
We strive to realise it by promoting processes such that everyone benefits irrespective of their class, caste or gender identities.
OUR APPROACH: MANTRA
The Movement and Action Network for Transformation of Rural Areas (MANTRA) approach promotes a socially inclusive, gender equitable, self-managed and financially viable model of sustainable and holistic development, where everybody benefits. The principles that guide our approach demonstrate our commitment to such a development process.

WHY US
We have the experience, credibility and commitment to deliver lasting results.
Solutions for the context
Our interventions respond to the needs and aspirations of the communities. Building community ownership for the processes and results is key to our work.
Rooted in the community
We have been working directly on the ground, in partnership with rural communities, for the last four decades. They know that we will be with them whenever they need us.
Delivering at scale
Fine-tuned implementation systems, clarity on processes, experienced teams, and long-term community partnerships mean that we scale programmes effectively.
Demonstrated impact
Institutions, governance processes and infrastructure still stand strong after more than two decades of us initiating them in villages across Odisha.
