Our Vision
To build capacity of the underprivileged sections of the society, especially women and children, and to empower them to improve their living environment and livelihood opportunities.
For the last three decades INDCARE Trust has been successfully working in different parts of the country with the goal of improving the living conditions and quality of life of the vulnerable communities. The main aim of the organisation is to empower communities through implementation, action and research. We empower the vulnerable especially the women and children through grass root level intervention. Through our 35 year long journey, INDCARE Trust has engaged with a number of organisations and networks at the local, national and international level. This has provided us a helping hand in our goal of enabling communities and working for various themes such as health, gender, agriculture and food security.
Sustainable development is very important for measuring organizational roadmap and thus a common thread in all our programmes is empowering communities through employability and entrepreneurship. Providing the vulnerable population with livelihood opportuinities through various programmes has been our mandate from the very beginning. The collective goal is to lead in to a future that is secure, dignified and full of opportunities.
Our work has also been guided by the smiles that we have been able to bring on the faces of girls and women all over the country. This has been the most important factor that has motivated us through the last three decades. Our worth is not measured in numbers but through our impact in the lives of people we have touched.

Our Mission
Empowerment of women and girls to act against oppression and discrimination. Promotion of just governance, that is both, participatory and propoor.
Over the last thirty years since the inception in 1989, we have become the torchbearers of enabling development into the lives of people. At INDCARE Trust we have supported thousands of people through enterprise development, basic needs fulfilment, skill development, increasing employability, enhancing entrpreneurial knowledge and strengthening institutions. We are focussed on providing sustainable livelihood to empower marginalised communities especially women.
An important theme that we focus on is that, “women are always told of their duties but never acquainted with their rights.” We step in and enable women to bring a transformation in their lives in the home and further empower them to step out of their homes for a brighter and more secure future. We also connect our various initiatives for instance we link legal experts at our INDCARE College of Law to underprivileged communities especially women to provide them legal guidance on their rights.
Our work in Una, Himachal Pradesh for organic farming and promotion of farmer producer organization is a testament to our work for health, protection of environment, mitigation of climate change and the upliftment of farmers. We are practising new innovations, ideas and techniques in Una such as micro irrigation, shallow well, poly houses, kisan kendra, and cultivation of medicinal plants and herbs for wellness such as shatavari and sarpganda , dragon plant, black wheat, citrus fruits, apples etc.
Our work had humble beginnings in 1989 and now we are celebrating 30 years of strength, progress and empowerment! Our journey represents belief in inclusiveness, the idea that all humans have the right to live their lives with dignity and respect. In this journey, whatever we have achieved has been through the participation of a number of individuals who worked with us, funded us, and contributed their ideas. I thank all of you, especially the team of INDCARE Trust, both past and present who have not only helped the organisation to grow to such a stature that it can now positively impact the lives of the less the fortunate, but have also given valuable inputs into the formulation of this report
Jai Hind, Jai kisan!
