Nirmaan, initially known as My INDIA, is a brainchild of BITS, Pilani students, who envisioned that most problems could be solved if every citizen worked towards a common goal to make India a developed nation. Started in 2005 with several small-scale initiatives like Gyanbodh (an evening school for the underprivileged), village libraries, & awareness programs on natural resources conservation, Nirmaan grew, in a short time, with help from fellow BITSians, faculty and several likeminded businessmen & social workers. to craft a strategy for the organisation.
It took a year to identify focus areas--three factored education and creation of livelihood opportunities--which form the vision of the organization. Nirmaan mainly works on three verticals; Education, Livelihoods and Social Leadership. In 12 years, Nirmaan has touched 3,00,000+ beneficiaries through vertical flagship programs and 5,00,000+ beneficiaries through horizontal impact programs with 150 full time employees, 500+ strong volunteer network, totalling 500+ lakhs (pa) worth of social impact. This is done through 7 Flagship Programs & Social Leadership Initiatives such as Vidya Helpline, Youth Skill development, School adoption program etc. These positively affect lives of children, women, youth and farmers from diverse social backgrounds across 6 Indian states, partnering with 35+ corporate and philanthropic partners.
