Who We Are

Who We Are

ISDG Research Foundation is a grassroots organization dedicated to building solutions alongside communities. We focus on empowering communities through initiatives in primary education, rural development, skills & micro-entrepreneurship, environmental protection, and development research.


We work collaboratively to develop inclusive programs that address the specific needs of each community we partner with, ensuring efficient and sustainable solutions.

 

Join us in building a brighter future, one community at a time.

OUR VISION

Sustainability for a better world. Our vision is a society where everyone has enough capacity, has attained self-reliance, and has the ability to give.

OUR MISSION

Enabling community through continuous participatory observation, dialogue, research, innovation, and action.

 
WHAT WE DO ?
  • We innovate and enact solutions through local initiatives and platforms that are sustainable.
  • We develop leaders who promote Sustainable development goals in their local socio-economic and cultural context.
  • We observe, discuss, envision, and research community aspirations and required processes.
 
OUR APPROACH
  • We believe in sustainability. While acknowledging that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are integrated and advocate inclusivity, we practice and promote sustainable development through understanding the community, developing local leadership, and implementing solutions through local platforms.

Our Strategy

Research – Innovation – Cooperation

Research

We employ rigorous observation methods to gain a comprehensive understanding of existing social structures, traditions, and development aspirations. This deep engagement informs our research, ensuring it is not only results-oriented but also empathetic to the cultural context and potential pathways for advancement.

Innovation

We recognize that sustainable solutions require innovation that reflects both community aspirations and contemporary challenges. We don't impose ideas – we work hand-in-hand with communities to co-create innovative solutions that are locally aligned.

Cooperation

We go beyond traditional methods by fostering innovative channels for communication and collaboration within communities themselves. We aim to empower them to take ownership of their development journey and achieve lasting results.

Jaikaran Singh Kherwar, Chingri

"We haven’t faced any problem with water since last year when the pumps were installed. Our WUG has decided to efficiently share water. We run water for each beneficiary every week, about 2-3 times a week. Water is abundant now."

Anjani Devi, Chingri

"I learned about the importance of soil and its health for the first time. I never cared for it before, we simply prepared the soil a little before sowing. But in Kisan Pathshala I learned about soil health testing. I have also received a soil health card."

Rasmaniya Rajwade, Augustpur, Surajpur

"I had received five goats and all of them are healthy so far. One of them had two lambs too. I learnt about proper feeding and housing in the training and try to do my best. I hope the herd grows steadily so I can start a goat rearing farmin the future."

Sakal Singh, Parshurampur, Surajpur

"My watermelon had a bumper crop this time. I have already harvested above 15 quintals. It needed lot of hard workonthe farm, but I hope it will cover my children’s school fees when the school reopens next month after summer vacations."
