Empowering People. Transforming Rural India.
Indian Human & Rural Development Council works hand in hand with women, youth and rural families to build skills, health, a greener environment and lasting self-reliance.
Who We Are
Dedicated to the progress of rural India
Indian Human & Rural Development Council (IHRDC) is a not-for-profit organisation registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013. We believe that when a woman in a village becomes self-reliant, a young person learns a skill and a family stays healthy, the whole community moves forward.
Together with local communities, volunteers and partners, we run programmes that open doors to opportunity, dignity and a better future.
Our Mission
To make under-served rural families self-reliant through women empowerment, skill development, environmental action and community health – and to connect them with opportunities and government schemes they are entitled to.
Our Vision
An India where every village is healthy, green and self-reliant, and every person – especially women and youth – can reach their full potential with dignity.
What We Do
Four focus areas, one goal – stronger communities
Women Empowerment
Self-help groups, financial literacy, rights awareness and leadership training for women.
Rural Skill Development
Tailoring, digital literacy, agri-based enterprise and job-oriented training for rural youth.
Go Green Campaign
Tree plantation, water conservation, cleanliness and plastic-free village drives.
Health Programmes
Health camps, nutrition and menstrual hygiene awareness, and linkage to health schemes.
