UDYAMA
Founded in 1997, Udyama aims at strengthening and building capacities of local communities for rejuvenating ecological, economical, and human capital by making optimum and sustainable use of local resources, working directly with the community and partner development organisations. In doing so, the process of choice has been building ‘Community Resilience’ enhancing adaptations to vulnerability, and changing the attitude from dependency to self-reliance. Udyama’s role is focused on strengthening the local community through development communication, capability-building exercises, and participatory tools.
Ensure improved quality of life of vulnerable and marginalized smallholders through livelihood enhancement and enhanced adaptation & resilience for risks reduction and vulnerability
We believe in translating the actions through continued reflection and mutual learning, and adopting sharing as a principle of development and change management. Udyama believes that safe, secure, specific, scale, smart and sustainable (6’S) efforts can bring about the desired change in promoting Resilient Communities.
To attain the vision, Udyama embraces integrated and convergent actions embedded into the community-led programmes promoting innovation and inclusion. We facilitate networking among people for collective actions towards reducing disaster risks, vulnerability, shocks & stress, drudgery, susceptibility (Natural, Climate and Human made) and achieving livelihood, gender privileges and equitable and sustainable development.
