Message

A Message from the President

Centre for Strategic Reforms & Development is working for the empowerment of economically & socially marginalized sections of the society, committed to addressing the root causes of problems trying to better the quality of life to bring about desirable change.

Though India has been making rapid socio-economic progress, with millions out of poverty, literacy levels going up, life expectancy shooting up, thousands are still bereft of a decent life. Even today, people struggle to get a decent education, health care facilities, and proper opportunities to earn a living. We add more than 40,000 new births to our vast population every day and the majority of these children are born into poor socio-economic strata of society.

Though the government of India is doing a lot, it is still too little considering the vastness of the country.

CSRD is determined to work in the fields of education, training & development, health care, socio-economic reforms, infrastructure development, employment creation, ease of doing business, removal of poverty, illiteracy, child care, and in several other areas in order that we can help more of our country men to lead a better educated, employable and dignified life.
