At Drishti Foundation Trust, our journey of over a decade as a trusted and impactful non-profit philanthropy organization has been guided by a strong set of core values. Core values are not just words on paper they are the principles that define who we are, what we stand for, and how we serve society. Since our inception, we have been committed to creating sustainable change across India in the fields of research and development, higher education, water conservation, river rejuvenation, ocean cleaning, pond cleaning, tree plantation, wildlife protection, disaster management, and ecosystem restoration through core values.
Our Special Consultative Status with ECOSOC of the United Nations since 2017, along with our accreditation from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), is a testament to the trust we have earned globally. But beyond recognition, our driving force is the belief that change begins with values—values that inspire action, innovation, and compassion.
We believe that every project, big or small, must contribute towards a sustainable future. Sustainability for us means protecting the needs of the present while safeguarding the resources of the future. Whether we are engaged in river rejuvenation, ocean cleaning, or tree plantation, our actions are designed to create long-term ecological balance.
Our sustainability approach includes:
We measure success not just by immediate outcomes, but by the positive impact our work continues to create years later.
At the heart of Drishti Foundation Trust’s initiatives is a dedication to research and development. We believe that science, when combined with compassion, can solve some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity and the environment. Our work in higher education, ecosystem restoration, and disaster management is grounded in evidence-based practices.
We partner with scientists, universities, and research institutions to:
By maintaining the highest standards of scientific rigor, we ensure that our interventions are effective, replicable, and scalable.
In every step we take, integrity is non-negotiable. As a public trust, we recognize our responsibility to use resources wisely and accountably.
We maintain:
This unwavering commitment to honesty has earned us the trust of not just local beneficiaries, but also global organizations like the United Nations.
We believe that the most impactful changes happen when communities are at the heart of the process. From pond cleaning in rural villages to wildlife protection in biodiversity hotspots, we prioritize community involvement.
Our approach includes:
By working hand-in-hand with people, we ensure that our projects are embraced, maintained, and nurtured long after they are implemented.
Nature is not just our environment it is our heritage, our provider, and our shared responsibility. We treat every species, every river, and every forest with the respect it deserves.
Our biodiversity and ecosystem protection efforts include:
We aim to create a future where human progress and nature’s well-being are perfectly balanced.
The challenges of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss require fresh thinking. At Drishti Foundation Trust, innovation is more than technology it is the willingness to challenge outdated methods and embrace creative solutions.
Examples of our innovative initiatives:
By fostering innovation, we maximize impact while minimizing costs and environmental footprints.
We believe education is the foundation for lasting change. Our higher education programs, environmental workshops, and skill-building initiatives aim to equip individuals with the knowledge to lead change.
Our educational efforts include:
Through education, we create a ripple effect that extends far beyond our direct interventions.
Over the past decade, we have faced natural disasters, funding hurdles, and complex socio-environmental issues. Yet, resilience is embedded in our organizational DNA.
We view challenges not as roadblocks, but as opportunities to learn and adapt. Our disaster management efforts whether it is providing relief during floods, restoring livelihoods after cyclones, or preparing communities for climate risks are rooted in the belief that resilience is the key to survival and growth.
No single organization can solve the world’s problems alone. Collaboration is central to our approach. Our partnerships span across:
By pooling strengths, we amplify our reach and impact.
We see ourselves as custodians of the planet for those yet to be born. This accountability influences every decision we make. From reducing plastic waste in ocean cleaning projects to restoring urban green spaces, we consciously work to leave a healthier planet for future generations.
Every action we take today is measured against the question: “Will this make the world better for tomorrow’s children?”
Our core values are not theoretical ideals; they are put into practice daily. Whether our teams are on the ground planting trees under the scorching sun, conducting wildlife surveys in remote forests, or working late into the night on research proposals, these values guide every choice we make.
The Drishti Foundation Trust family including our trustees, staff, volunteers, and supporters—lives by these values. They are reflected in the way we plan projects, manage resources, interact with communities, and measure our success.
In a time of environmental crises, biodiversity loss, and increasing natural disasters, values like integrity, sustainability, and community involvement are more important than ever. They are the moral compass that keeps us aligned with our mission, even when facing uncertainty by our core values.
Our values ensure that:
We invite everyone individuals, institutions, and corporations to join us in living these core values. You can be a part of river rejuvenation efforts, participate in tree plantation drives, support wildlife conservation, or contribute to disaster management programs. Every contribution, no matter how small, strengthens the impact of our collective action.
By aligning with our values, you are not just supporting Drishti Foundation Trust you are becoming part of a movement to protect and heal the planet.
For more than a decade, the Drishti Foundation Trust has been more than an organization it has been a movement powered by unwavering values. Our Special Consultative Status with ECOSOC and accreditation from UNEP affirm our credibility, but it is our commitment to sustainability, integrity, and community that defines us.
As we move forward, these values will continue to guide us in our mission to protect ecosystems, conserve biodiversity, empower communities, and inspire global change. Together, we can turn these values into a reality for generations to come.
