  • Since

    2002

Abhivyakti had its beginnings as an informal collective of young social activists driven by a vision to revitalize the social and cultural fabric of G Read moreiridih district. This region, once vibrant with cultural activities such as Srijanutsav, natyamahotsava, and folk arts exhibitions, had experienced a void in recent times. The group's primary aspiration was to reignite values of peace, non-violence, national unity, and sustainable development practices that were deeply ingrained in the district's past. The essence of Abhivyakti Foundation lies in its collaboration with local youth, aiming to cultivate a spirit of volunteerism and nurture social entrepreneurship and creativity. The foundation's guiding philosophy is deeply rooted in the principles of Mahatma Gandhi, and it subscribes to the endogenous theory of development. This approach underscores the belief in the inherent potential of local communities and the significance of bottom-up planning for the upliftment of the most marginalized sections of society. This holistic perspective necessitates the active engagement of local communities in participatory processes that drive development, making them active stakeholders in their own growth journey.
