The organization was formed to tackle poverty, education, healthcare, and environmental issues in rural Uttarakhand, aiming to reduce socio-economic disparities in marginalized communities.
In the mid-1990s, rural Uttarakhand, then part of Uttar Pradesh, faced significant socio-economic disparities, with women and small-scale farmers having limited access to essential resources and opportunities.
Mr. Chauhan and his team envisioned an organization to empower rural communities, overcome barriers, and create sustainable livelihoods for long-term growth.
The organization began in Talla Chinakhan, Almora, focusing on building local capacities, fostering leadership, and implementing sustainable development in remote areas.
