Welcome to Drishti Foundation – A Research Organisation which Driving Change Through Knowledge, Action, and Innovation

Drishti Foundation is a leading non-profit, non-political Research Organisation dedicated to creating impactful solutions for societal challenges. Established on 16 July 1998 and registered under the Rajasthan Society Act, 1958 (Registration No. 64/Alwar/1998-99), we have been working tirelessly at the grassroots level for the last 27 successful years.

Our work focuses on Public Policy, Research Organisation, Environmental Sustainability, and Higher Education, all aimed at empowering communities, influencing policy decisions, and fostering sustainable development. Rooted in India and connected globally, our approach combines evidence-based research, community engagement, and policy advocacy to address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Whether it is shaping governance models, promoting environmental conservation, improving access to education, or contributing to public policy debates, Drishti Foundation bridges the gap between research insights and practical implementation.

At Drishti Foundation, our name – “Drishti,” meaning vision – reflects our belief that transformative change begins with a clear and inclusive vision. Over nearly three decades, we have evolved into a multidisciplinary organisation that partners with government bodies, academic institutions, civil society groups, and international organisations to deliver sustainable, measurable, and lasting impact. We are committed to creating knowledge that informs decision-making and empowering people with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive. Our team includes experienced researchers, policy analysts, environmentalists, educators, and grassroots development experts who work together to turn innovative ideas into actionable solutions.

Our expertise spans multiple domains. In Public Policy and Governance, we conduct in-depth research to identify systemic gaps and recommend practical reforms. By engaging with policymakers, stakeholders, and communities, we ensure that policies are inclusive, evidence-based, and impact-driven. Our Research and Development initiatives focus on creating innovative tools, technologies, and strategies that address real-world challenges. We work on solutions ranging from climate adaptation models to digital learning systems, all aimed at improving quality of life and fostering resilience. In the field of Environment and Sustainability, we implement projects that encourage renewable energy use, water conservation, afforestation, waste management, and biodiversity protection. These efforts are complemented by awareness programs that promote sustainable living practices within communities. Our work in Higher Education focuses on building bridges between academic learning and real-world problem-solving by partnering with universities, vocational institutes, and research bodies to enhance skills, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

The Drishti Foundation approach is rooted in research, policy, and implementation. Every project begins with a rigorous research and analysis phase, where we gather data and study trends to understand the complexities of the challenges at hand. The findings inform our policy and advocacy work, enabling us to influence decision-making processes at the local, national, and international levels. Finally, we ensure that our recommendations are implemented effectively on the ground, creating measurable and lasting change. This integrated model allows us to blend academic rigor with social relevance, ensuring that every initiative is practical, scalable, and sustainable.

While our roots are firmly planted in India, our vision extends globally. We actively collaborate with international organisations, participate in United Nations forums, and contribute to global research networks. These collaborations allow us to showcase Indian innovations on the world stage while bringing back international best practices to benefit local communities. Our global outlook ensures that we remain at the forefront of innovative solutions to pressing global challenges.

Over the years, Drishti Foundation has built a reputation for excellence, trust, and integrity. Our 27 years of experience have given us deep insights into the challenges faced by communities, enabling us to design interventions that create real impact. Our multidisciplinary expertise ensures that we approach every problem from multiple perspectives, leading to holistic solutions and become Research Organisation. The long-term partnerships we have built with governments, NGOs, academic institutions, and corporate entities stand as a testament to our credibility and commitment.

Our impact speaks for itself. We have influenced public policy reforms that have been adopted at state and national levels, designed environmental conservation projects that have restored ecosystems, and developed research outputs that have guided both policy and practice. We have worked closely with educational institutions to enhance research capabilities and improve skill development among students. Our community programs have improved livelihoods, promoted gender equality, and created awareness about sustainable practices. These achievements are the result of a deep-rooted commitment to evidence-based, people-centered development.

At Drishti Foundation, we believe that true change is possible only when individuals and organisations come together with a shared purpose. We encourage people from all walks of life to collaborate with us in various ways. You can partner with us on research projects, volunteer your skills and expertise, or contribute financially to support our work. We also offer collaboration opportunities for corporate entities looking to fulfill their Corporate Social Responsibility commitments in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

As we look toward the future, we remain committed to our mission of driving change through knowledge, action, and innovation. We envision a society where policies are inclusive, the environment is healthy and resilient, education empowers individuals to reach their potential, and research leads to solutions that improve lives. Our future goals include expanding our global reach, deepening our grassroots engagement, and leveraging technology to address complex development challenges.
