AVARD is a well known open, secular, non-political, non-party, non-profit national association (network) of 328 autonomous voluntary agencies (NGOs) engaged in rural development throughout India.
Main Objective
To promote cooperation and understanding among voluntary agencies working for the rural communities in India.
Our Vision
Deeply influenced by its genesis and promoters, AVARD’s vision of the future is that of a free, autonomous, self-reliant, non-exploitative, egalitarian Indian society, with minimal dependence on the State.
Our Mission
To network and strengthen voluntary agencies and synergise voluntary action to endeavour to facilitate society’s continuing resolve and quest for freedom.
The Association of Voluntary Agencies for Rural Development (AVARD) is a collective of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations dedicated to enhancing the lives of rural communities. Our mission is to promote sustainable development by empowering marginalized and underserved populations in rural areas, focusing on education, health, livelihoods, women's empowerment, and environmental sustainability.
AVARD serves as a platform for collaboration among civil society organizations, government bodies, and other stakeholders to drive positive change at the grassroots level. We believe in community-led development and work towards creating self-reliant, resilient communities that can address their own challenges and opportunities. By building local capacities, advocating for social justice, and ensuring inclusivity, AVARD aims to create a lasting impact on the socio-economic well-being of rural populations.
