The north star that guides every programme, partnership, and decision at MITRA Foundation — building a just and sustainable future for rural India.
We envision an inclusive society where rural and marginalized populations have the knowledge, resources, and institutional support necessary to achieve economic independence and environmental harmony.
To empower vulnerable women, marginal farmers, persons with disabilities and underserved communities through skills development, access to finance, sustainable livelihoods, entrepreneurship, education and capacity building, while strengthening community institutions and promoting resilient and sustainable development.
Six strategic objectives that translate our vision into measurable, on-ground action.
Strengthen smallholder farmers' incomes through collective farming models, FPOs, organic transition support, and access to government schemes.
Build platforms for women to lead, earn, and decide — through SHGs, micro-enterprises, vocational training, and legal awareness programmes.
Ensure rural youth have access to quality learning, digital literacy, career guidance, and vocational skills that lead to sustainable employment.
Ensure clean water access, improved sanitation, and community health through watershed development, WASH infrastructure, and preventative healthcare.
Promote climate-smart practices, watershed conservation, afforestation, and solar energy interventions to build community resilience against climate shocks.
Strengthen Gram Sabhas, Village Development Committees, and local self-governance mechanisms so communities lead their own development.
MITRA's programmes directly contribute to multiple Sustainable Development Goals.
Partner with us to turn this vision into reality — village by village, family by family.
