Let’s take an approach where communities equally participate in the development that affects their lives
Development that is contextually relevant & culturally appropriate
There is a need to understand and appreciate that mere Income & GDP Growths without significant human and social growth will not result in the kind of gains that the Nation needs and aspires for.
At SVYM, we are reasonably assured that development through equal partnership and invovlement of the communities is contextually relevant and culturally appropriate. This is best done by building the human & social capital of people, with the conviction that this will result in economic consequences that keeps in mind a balanced need to protect the needs of the people and planet.
The more we come out and do good to others,
the more our hearts will be purified.
Swami Vivekananda
It all started with a handful of young friends responding to the clarion call of Swami Vivekananda.
Presently we are serving over 3 million people in Karnataka through 40+ Projects, 7 Institutes and 200+ Partners. SVYM’s areas of focus are Health, Education, Socio-economic Empowerment and Training & Research. The organisation has its headquarters in Mysuru district of Karnataka state in Southern India.
The organisation has received 32 national and international awards so far.
Acting as a key promoter-facilitator in the community’s efforts towards self-reliance and empowerment, SVYM is developing local, innovative and cost-effective solutions to sustain community centred progress.
We are aligned with 13 out of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations.
Our development approach has resulted in a positive economic consequence in the lives of tribal, rural, vulnerable and other marginalised communities that is well documented and publicly available in our reports.
SVYM is also rooted to its values of Satya (Truthfulness), Ahimsa (Non Violence), Seva (Service) and Tyaga (Sacrifice), which is reflected in its program design and delivery, transactions with its stakeholders, resource utilisation, disclosures and openness to public scrutiny. Buying in support from the community, working in healthy partnership with the government, world bodies, corporate sector, CSOs and academia has been the hallmark of SVYM’s evolution over nearly 4 decades.
