HRDS India (Highrange Rural Development Society), a registered NGO established in 1995, continues its work for tribal and rural communities across India. Under the leadership of Srimath Swami Atma Nambi, President, and Aji Krishnan, Founder & Secretary, it focuses on shelter, livelihoods, dignity and self-reliance for marginalised communities.
For nearly three decades, HRDS India has worked in education, healthcare, women empowerment, livelihood generation and environmental sustainability. Its key programmes include Sadhgraha for tribal housing, Karshaka for organic farming, Jwalamukhi for women empowerment, Ekagrah for skill development and education, and Niramaya for Ayurveda and yoga-based healthcare.
The organisation’s initiatives cover Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Odisha, Rajasthan, Manipur, Jharkhand, Assam and Tripura. Tribal housing remains a major focus, with Sadhgraha providing durable, furnished homes using environmentally sustainable materials and faster construction methods.
HRDS India also supports economic independence through organic farming, DDU-GKY-linked skill development and women-led micro-enterprises. In Manipur, it has announced plans to support tribal and homeless families affected by displacement and conflict through safe housing and integrated development.
The organisation has expanded its environmental and sanitation work through collaborations including Japan-based SMI Inc. for waste management, recycling and waste-processing projects. An MoU with Calculus Group focuses on AI-based sanitation solutions, IoT-enabled infrastructure and digital ecosystems for underserved rural areas.
As part of a major humanitarian initiative, HRDS India is constructing 1,500 free three-bedroom prefabricated “Smart Houses” across Jammu and Kashmir. The homes are for families affected by floods, landslides, damage linked to Operation Sindoor and certain cases of terrorism.
Under MoUs with the Divisional Commissioners of Jammu and Kashmir, beneficiaries will receive modern homes along with 15-year life insurance coverage for family members, regular health check-ups, digital connectivity and free maintenance and repainting for multiple years.
Foundation stones have been laid in several districts, with construction planned for completion within months of commencement. HRDS India will fully fund the project, with no cost to the government or beneficiaries.
Aji Krishnan, Founder & Secretary of HRDS India, said, “Service to humanity is the highest form of nation-building. Our mission stands above politics, rooted in truth, compassion, and accountability. Nation First, Humanity Always — Service Beyond Boundaries, Truth Beyond Influence.”
HRDS India is an independent, non-political organisation registered with NITI Aayog, eligible to receive CSR funds, tax-exempt under Section 80G and FCRA-compliant for foreign contributions. It is supported through voluntary donations and philanthropic assistance and continues to seek partnerships for its welfare and rehabilitation initiatives.
