Kalike Trust, an associate organisation of Tata Trusts, has been working in North Karnataka since 2009. The pulse of our vision is to ensure holistic development and sustainable transformation that span wide ranging areas of rural development and enterprise. Our interventions employ an integrated approach encompassing education, health and livelihoods, with the intention of positively impacting overall human development.
To realise long term change, we empower stakeholders to action, strengthen institutional framework, grow community action, organise alternatives, train capacities at the individual and community level, consult experts, forge synergic partnerships, facilitate field and exposure visits, liaison between the individual and state, among a number of other roles demanded by emerging challenges.
Kalike’s interventions - developed empirically - are deeply founded in achieving ‘proof of concept’ first (through demonstration plots and pilots), by virtue of which we earn the buy in of the community and only then scale up efforts and thereby grow from strength to strength. Kalike’s varied interventions carry forth, our core developmental work remains undeterred, critically impacting each and every stage in the life of an individual and journey of the community.
