Sankalpa: A Resolution To Make A Difference

Sankalpa is a group of motivated individuals and concerned citizens who want to make a difference in India through supporting developmental work. The developmental work is supported by funds generated through various fundraising activities in US. Today, Sankalpa has grown in to two chapters in Columbus and Philadelphia with a keen membership of like-minded individuals.

Our main objective is to undertake sustainable, micro-developmental, and grassroots-level projects in areas like education, health, sanitation, and agriculture. Sankalpa coordinates and supports its developmental projects through independent and dedicated social-workers/small scale non-profit groups. Unlike big Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), independent social workers and small non-profit groups working at a local level are faced with frequent paucity of resources for their grassroots-level work. However, the local knowledge, experience, and community links within such groups mean that large developmental benefits can often be seen from relatively small investments. Hence, Sankalpa deems supporting these ‘actors’ of grassroots development important. Besides funding developmental activities, Sankalpa also proactively collaborates on developing projects with partner social workers/small NGOs at local level. Moreover, philosophically Sankalpa is a self-sustaining concept that will perpetuate as more individuals commit themselves to making a difference in India.
