Vision & Mission

Vision & Mission – Our Guiding Principles

At Drishti Foundation, our journey of 27 successful years has been driven by a clear vision and an unwavering mission. Since our establishment on 16 July 1998, registered under the Rajasthan Society Act, 1958 (Reg. No. 64/Alwar/1998-99), we have worked relentlessly at the grassroots level in public policy, research and development, environmental sustainability, and higher education. Our work is not just about implementing projects; it is about creating a roadmap for lasting change, empowering communities, and shaping policies that impact millions of lives.

Our Vision

Our vision is to be a globally recognised research and development organisation that bridges the gap between knowledge and action, driving inclusive growth and sustainable solutions for communities worldwide. We envision a world where informed policies, scientific research, and community engagement come together to create societies that are equitable, resilient, and empowered.

We aspire to lead by example, showcasing how an organisation rooted in India can have a truly global impact. Our vision aligns closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on eradicating poverty, ensuring quality education, promoting gender equality, fostering environmental stewardship, and building strong institutions. We believe that when people, policies, and the planet are in harmony, true development can flourish.

Our Mission

Our mission is to transform vision into action by conducting high-quality research, influencing public policy, implementing grassroots projects, and building capacities for sustainable development. We are committed to:

Public Policy Advocacy – Using evidence-based research to guide governments and institutions towards policies that are inclusive, effective, and equitable.
Sustainable Environmental Practices – Promoting renewable energy, water conservation, waste management, afforestation, and climate change resilience to safeguard natural resources for future generations.
Higher Education & Skill Development – Partnering with universities, research institutes, and training centres to promote research-led learning, innovation, and employability skills.
Inclusive Community Development – Creating opportunities for marginalised communities, women, youth, and persons with disabilities to participate fully in social and economic life.

Why Our Vision & Mission Matter

In a rapidly changing world, the challenges we face – from climate change and economic inequality to technological disruption – require thoughtful, research-driven, and people-centric solutions. Our vision keeps us focused on the big picture, while our mission ensures that we take concrete, measurable steps toward achieving it.

By working at the intersection of research, policy, and grassroots action, we ensure that our initiatives are innovative yet practical, global in perspective yet local in execution. This balance allows us to remain adaptable and relevant in addressing the needs of communities across different regions.

Values That Drive Us

Our vision and mission are supported by core values that define who we are:

Integrity – Upholding transparency and accountability in everything we do.
Collaboration – Building partnerships across sectors, regions, and disciplines.
Innovation – Embracing new ideas, technologies, and approaches to problem-solving.
Inclusivity – Ensuring no one is left behind, especially the most vulnerable.
Sustainability – Creating solutions that endure and benefit future generations.

How We Live Our Vision & Mission Every Day

Every project we undertake is an opportunity to bring our mission to life. For example:

In public policy, we work with government departments to design policies that reflect the voices of the people.
In environmental action, we involve local communities in reforestation drives, rainwater harvesting, and clean energy adoption.
In education, we develop skill-building programs for rural youth, ensuring they are ready for the jobs of tomorrow.
In inclusive development, we advocate for accessibility and rights of persons with disabilities, in line with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

Our association with Admighty Foundation and other global partners amplifies our reach and enables us to participate in international platforms, contributing India’s perspectives to global challenges and learning from best practices worldwide.

A Vision for the Future

As we move forward, our vision extends beyond national boundaries. We aim to establish Drishti Foundation as a hub for global research, policy innovation, and sustainable development practice. We will continue to build partnerships with international think tanks, UN agencies, universities, and civil society networks to address global challenges collectively.

We see a future where every policy is informed by research, every community is empowered to act, and every development effort is environmentally conscious. By blending local wisdom with global expertise, we will ensure that our impact is both deep and wide-reaching.

An Invitation to Join Us

Our vision and mission are not ours alone – they are an open invitation to individuals, institutions, and communities to collaborate in creating a better world. Whether you are a policymaker, researcher, student, business leader, or community volunteer, you have a role to play in this journey.

By working together, we can accelerate progress, scale solutions, and inspire collective action for a sustainable and inclusive future. Drishti Foundation welcomes partnerships, collaborations, and contributions that align with our vision and mission.
