Directors Speaks

The scale of the humanitarian crisis in rural India is overwhelming. Vital education, health, water and sanitation facilities are either non-existent or ineffective. As the driving force behind VATSA FOUNDATION, I am committed to working tirelessly to elevate the cause of rural population to the highest levels. I consider my organization as the voice of the rural population and champion of rural transformation. Through the various programs, the organization advocates the protection of human rights, rural education & healthcare, restoration of human dignity, empowerment of women, revenue generation through integrated farming, expansion of opportunities for personnel in rural areas and their participation in socio-economic development. VATSA FOUNDATION’s strategic focus is on establishing new priorities for guaranteeing women an equal role in building a new society. Our agenda is to implement programs integrated with a policy of mainstreaming a gender perspective at all levels. We are convinced that the cycle of discrimination and disadvantage can be broken only through investment in human, social, and economic development. For rural children to realize their right to education, schools must have the necessary infrastructure, technology and expertise to deliver quality education. The overall rural ecosystem must be transformed into a safe place and the rural population must feel valued which would improve their self-esteem. Therefore, acceptable hygiene and sanitation facilities, health and nutrition services, and policies that assure physical and mental health, safety, and security is paramount. To accomplish them, I have fostered collaborative relationships with community members, policy and decision-makers across all levels. I have always believed in bringing morality and ethics to the forefront while adhering to best practices for resource optimization. While representing VATSA FOUNDATION, I would like to pledge our dedication to make positive changes and continuously gaining skills to become more useful and provide selfless service to the rural community.
