Rajmeru Sanstha, formed in 2003 and registered in 2007 under the Society Registration Act, is a grassroot development organization whose name symbolizes strength and resilience amongst different eco systems- Raj (sand) and Meru (mountain). For last 20 years Rajmeru has evolved into a registered Non Profit Organisation (NPO), operational across Rajasthan and other states. The organization believes in “Action in Collaboration”—a development approach where community-led organizations, state institutions, and private sector partners work together in collaboration to bring sustainable change. Rajmeru operates across various locations in the northern and central regions of the country. While its registered office is located in Jaipur, the organization is also active in several other states. Rajmeru has successfully expanded its work with CBOs and their collectives who are working in different regions of the country on varied issues and concerns of poor and marginalized communities. Rajmeru works to address critical issues related to deprivation, development, livelihoods, food security, and institutional strengthening. As part of its livelihood promotion strategy, the organisation emphasises sustainable agriculture by promoting agroecological approaches and natural farming practices. At every level, Action in Collaboration is the foundation of our impact. Peoples Institutions lead the change from within, Governance System enable public system convergence, and CSR partners/Doners bring in critical investments and innovations. This synergy creates a model of development that is sustainable, community-driven, and scalable.
