Drishtee is a social organization working for rural communities of over 6000 villages in various states in India, with a strong presence in Assam, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar. We also have our presence in parts of Rajasthan, West Bengal, Orissa, M.P., Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka, Uttarakhand and some other North Eastern states. Drishtee aims to develop and nurture more than 500,000 sustainable rural livelihoods in next 5 years, in partnership with local communities and external stakeholders. This entails the role of a catalyst for community building and an in depth understanding of rural life and businesses for forging partnerships.
Progress and development of villages is possible only when families realize and accept the need for coming together as a community for fulfilling their basic common needs. It is important that they realize that their economic unsustainability may have external influence but the core of the solution lies in their aggregation. Drishtee is betting on the willingness of rural families to invest, sacrifice and contribute towards this common cause. Once the village embarks on the path of organizing themselves, the focus is on identifying their skill and resource gaps which needs outside support. There are capacity building needs, capital needs and above all requirement of channel support for accessing markets. Drishtee takes these needs to stakeholders such as local government, civil society organizations and CSR of large corporations seeking partnerships on behalf of these community organizations.

Come learn and contribute at Drishtee Drishtee needs large hearted, good people to contribute consistently expecting non- traditional emoluments. ( ( Since it is much more than cash and material wants (including a small stipend paid in cash) - such as love, family, community, opportunity to impact others therefore the phrase non-traditional emolument.) Working for Drishtee should be synonymous to ‘Sewa’ done for the community. We need to take care of all those who work with us in a manner that they feel comfortable, secure, fulfilled and extremely happy. Drishtee would be like a large Global village with small communities existing in each block, district, state and wherever there is a direct presence of Drishtee. However, in the villages Drishtee is working towards helping people come together and build their own communities. We need volunteers for each village that we work with. The work should be considered as a part of long term immersion. It would be a one year volunteering which would include fulfillment of following tasks:Complete mapping of challenges, resources and opportunities of each of these villages. Develop a location for long term immersion plan to continue Build leadership within the village on the lines of Samaj Shilpi Initiate the implementation of the Block model Spread awareness on the lines of “community living – sustainable living”
