Support

Initial Support

Sir Dorabji Tata Trust had supported a project in Eklavya called Participatory Planning for Rural Development. The activities and learnings through this project in Development and Governance since 1998 provided the background for the creation of Samavesh.

Activities in the CPD group of Eklavya received financial support from the Department of Science and Technology (New Delhi), Society for Wasteland Development (New Delhi), UNICEF (Bhopal), and MAPCOST (Bhopal). Major support since then has come from various renowned funding agencies.
