Bharat Samartha Trust has always looked upon its own role as that of a catalyst, a means of setting in motion and accelerating the process of development. But the true potential for bringing real, long lasting change, lies with the civil society. Not remaining restricted to the community, and with the aim of achieving sustainable development in a wider social context, Bharat Samartha Trust Foundation has adopted the principle of Civic Driven Change, making the civil society an active partner in all its welfare initiatives.
