Development is the constant expansion of human capabilities

Building the inner resilience of people and communities

Individuals, institutions & countries alike are realising the unsustainable nature of the current economic growth practices and are exploring other viable and sustainable models of development that focus on building human capabilities.

SVYM has been actively advocating the paradigm of building the human and social capital of people with the conviction that this will result in economic consequences keeping in mind a balance that is needed to protect the people and the planet, ensure reasonable and equitable benefits to all stakeholders and create an environment of peace and harmony.

Development that’s contextually relevant
& culturally appropriate

Nearly four decades of working closely with the communities has shaped our belief that  sustainable & community centered development is possible through a constant expansion of human capabilities.

To develop the Human & Social Capital of tribal, rural and urban communities, SVYM takes a multidisciplinary approach through its interventions in Health, Education, Socio-economic Empowerment Program & Training and Research 

We believe such a development process will lead to positive socio-economic consequences that are contextually relevant, culturally appropriate.
