In the harsh and inhospitable regions of rural Rajasthan in the Thar Desert, Urmul Group of Organizations have been innovating models for inducing community driven socio developmental changes by devising programmes, strengthening them, sustaining and finally handing them over to communities. Urmul’s work is guided by the spirit and trust placed in people’ s capabilities to bring about the much-needed social change with their own efforts. Most of the work is focused on vulnerable and marginalized sections of the society –Woman and children. Following the integrated development approaches, Urmul works on most of the SDGs. We adopt service delivery platforms, advocacy and lobbying tools for empowering the marginalized and vulnerable sections of society in over 1000 villages in this desert state of India-thematically working on Health, Education, Livelihood, Environment, Mother-Child care et al.
