Our Projects – Driving Change, Creating Impact

For the last 27 years, Drishti Foundation has been working at the grassroots level to address some of the most pressing challenges in public policy, research and development, environmental conservation, and higher education. As a registered non-profit under the Rajasthan Society Act, 1958 (Reg. No. 64/Alwar/1998-99), we have built a strong reputation for delivering impactful projects that bring sustainable and measurable change to communities.

Our projects are not just initiatives—they are transformative missions designed to create long-term impact through evidence-based solutions, community participation, and innovative thinking. Each project is guided by our vision to foster an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable society.

1. Public Policy Research & Advocacy Projects

Drishti Foundation has consistently led research-driven projects aimed at shaping progressive policies. We work closely with government bodies, think tanks, and international organizations to conduct in-depth studies, develop policy recommendations, and advocate for reforms in areas such as social justice, rural development, education access, and gender equality.

Key Initiatives:

  • Policy Impact Studies – Comprehensive research reports that influence decision-making at local, state, and national levels.
  • Community Consultation Programs – Engaging stakeholders to ensure policies address real-world needs.
  • Youth Policy Forums – Creating platforms for young people to contribute to governance and policy-making.

These projects are designed to bridge the gap between research findings and actionable governance, ensuring that policies are inclusive, effective, and future-ready.

2. Research and Development (R&D) Initiatives

As a Research and Development Organisation, Drishti Foundation invests in innovative solutions to societal challenges. Our R&D projects focus on technology-driven interventions, social innovation models, and capacity-building programs.

Highlighted Projects:

  • Smart Agriculture Solutions – Using technology to increase productivity, reduce costs, and promote sustainable farming practices.
  • Rural Tech Labs – Training rural youth in emerging technologies like AI, IoT, and digital entrepreneurship.
  • Impact Measurement Tools – Developing frameworks to assess the effectiveness of social programs.

These projects empower communities with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

3. Environmental Conservation & Climate Action Projects

Environmental sustainability is at the heart of our work. Over the years, we have initiated projects that protect natural resources, restore ecosystems, and combat climate change.

Major Environmental Projects:

  • Green Villages Initiative – Promoting eco-friendly infrastructure, renewable energy, and waste management.
  • Afforestation Campaigns – Planting thousands of trees across Rajasthan to fight desertification.
  • Water Resource Management – Reviving traditional water harvesting structures and promoting efficient irrigation systems.
  • Climate Education Programs – Training communities to adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts.

These initiatives not only conserve the environment but also improve livelihoods by introducing green economy opportunities.

4. Higher Education & Skill Development Projects

Education is the key to empowerment, and Drishti Foundation has a long history of promoting higher education and vocational training for youth and underserved communities.

Educational Projects:

  • Scholarship Programs – Providing financial assistance to meritorious students from low-income families.
  • Higher Education Access Programs – Helping students navigate college admissions, entrance exams, and career choices.
  • Skill Development Centers – Offering job-oriented training in IT, healthcare, agriculture, and entrepreneurship.
  • Women’s Education Empowerment Program – Supporting female students with mentorship, resources, and leadership training.

Through these projects, we aim to bridge the education gap and create a skilled, confident, and self-reliant generation.

5. Community Empowerment Projects

We believe that real development happens when communities take ownership of their future. Our community empowerment projects strengthen local governance, promote social harmony, and enable marginalized groups to participate in the development process.

Flagship Projects:

Sustainability and Long-Term Vision

We also invest in monitoring and evaluation frameworks to measure progress and adapt strategies for better results.
