Seva Mandir believes in not just delivering aid but fostering long-term, sustainable social transformation. For over 50 years, our work has been rooted in the principle that rural development is not an end in itself but a means to strengthen communities’ capacity for self-governance and reduce social barriers of caste, class, gender, and age. By engaging entire villages in decision-making and project management, we ensure lasting impact. Our work spans rural and tribal communities in southern Rajasthan, urban poor in Udaipur, and peri-urban areas, improving lives while contributing to rural development research and sustainable change.
