Our Vision
We envision a just, inclusive, and culturally rich India where every woman, regardless of her background or birthplace, has the freedom, resources, and respect to shape her destiny.
Our vision is to build a future where rural women are not seen as the forgotten hands of history, but as the proud architects of tomorrow, leading change in their homes, communities, and industries.
We strive for a society where livelihoods are rooted in dignity, traditions are celebrated, not erased, and every thread of India’s folk heritage weaves into the global story of sustainable development.
By combining the strength of community, the wisdom of tradition, and the tools of innovation, the Ruma Devi Foundation aims to become a national force in rural transformation—one that redefines empowerment not just as economic gain, but as pride, purpose, and possibility.
Our Mission
At the Ruma Devi Foundation, our mission is to create a dignified and self-reliant future for marginalised and underserved communities in rural India, especially women, artisans, and tribal populations, by fostering sustainable livelihoods, cultural pride, and inclusive growth.
We believe that true empowerment begins at the grassroots, and our work is grounded in the conviction that every woman, regardless of caste, class, or geography, possesses the potential to lead, inspire, and transform her world.
Through skill development, entrepreneurship support, education, health interventions, cultural revival, and market integration, we aim to dismantle generations of systemic inequality and social exclusion. We work to amplify the voices of rural women by turning their traditional knowledge into economic strength, their artistry into global identity, and their lived experiences into leadership.
We are committed to building an ecosystem of dignity, where rural women are not just beneficiaries but drivers of change—artists, entrepreneurs, educators, and leaders. Our mission goes beyond charity; it is about restoring pride, reviving traditions, and rebuilding rural economies on the pillars of equity, sustainability, and resilience.
Every stitch, every song, every skill passed on under our banner carries the power of legacy and the promise of a future where no one is left behind.
