We mobilize the youth to work at the grassroots - in the villages of India
Our Story
Gandhi ji famously said that “India lives in its villages” and till date the statement holds true.
-
About 65% of India’s population (which constitutes 11% of the world population) lives in its villages and 1 in every 4 rural residents is ‘poor’.
-
In such areas, even the basic necessities of life are not just unavailable but unheard of.
This is the population at the bottom of the pyramid of the big Indian dream.
Started by a group of students studying at Lady Shri Ram College in 2014, Asmat aims to bring about change at the grassroots level through youth mobilization. We started our work in Soda village in 2013. Since summer 2017, we have been working in our second village - Ahmadpur Darewala, Hayana. For more on our objectives and team, click on the link below!
