However, they often face challenges in terms of bandwidth and resources which impedes their potential and impact.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, the Indian development sector depended on large corporations, multinationals or international grant making institutions for their major funding, but these were often out of reach for local social initiatives. However, with progressive policies, a rising middle class and the CSR mandate, several new doors have opened for community based organisations within the country.<\/p>\n<p>Sarvodaya Global Jan Welfare &amp; Development Council Empowering Grassroots programme is designed to help such grassroots social initiatives become locally sustainable, without dependency on foreign resources. Aligned with Government of India\u2019s \u201cAtmanirbhar Bharat\u201d mission, Empowering Grassroots helps CBOs to become more efficient, scale up their welfare activities and enables them to tap locally available resources to ensure long term sustainability of the social projects.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; woodmart_stretch_content=&#8221;section-stretch&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771669175949{background-image: url(https:\/\/sarvodayaglobalcouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bg.png?id=10279) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221; woodmart_css_id=&#8221;6999866561a36&#8243; responsive_spacing=&#8221;eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2OTk5ODY2NTYxYTM2Iiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfc2VjdGlvbiIsImRhdGEiOnsidGFibGV0Ijp7fSwibW9iaWxlIjp7fX19&#8243; mobile_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; tablet_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_gradient_switch=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_box_shadow=&#8221;no&#8221; wd_z_index=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_disable_overflow=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;How We Empower CBOs&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:45|text_align:center|color:%23172645&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-699985fd94c92\" class=\" wd-rs-699985fd94c92 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-center box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none vc_custom_1771668998640\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-icon-wrapper  box-with-icon box-icon-simple\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-icon\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/sarvodayaglobalcouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/emp-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sarvodayaglobalcouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/emp-1.png 768w, https:\/\/sarvodayaglobalcouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/emp-1-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/sarvodayaglobalcouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/emp-1-430x242.png 430w, https:\/\/sarvodayaglobalcouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/emp-1-700x394.png 700w, https:\/\/sarvodayaglobalcouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/emp-1-150x84.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-600 box-title-style-default wd-fontsize-xl\">Empowering Grassroots<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner set-cont-mb-s reset-last-child\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>You don&#8217;t need a title to lead.

However, they often face challenges in terms of bandwidth and resources which impedes their potential and impact.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, the Indian development sector depended on large corporations, multinationals or international grant making institutions for their major funding, but these were often out of reach for local social initiatives. However, with progressive policies, a rising middle class and the CSR mandate, several new doors have opened for community based organisations within the country.<\/p>\n<p>Sarvodaya Global Jan Welfare &amp; Development Council Empowering Grassroots programme is designed to help such grassroots social initiatives become locally sustainable, without dependency on foreign resources. Aligned with Government of India\u2019s \u201cAtmanirbhar Bharat\u201d mission, Empowering Grassroots helps CBOs to become more efficient, scale up their welfare activities and enables them to tap locally available resources to ensure long term sustainability of the social projects.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;
