Shristi
Founded in 1998 by Late Sh. Sudipto Mukherjee, Shristi is a non-governmental organization with a vision to work for the upliftment of the poorer under-privileged section of society and in a small yet significant way contribute towards enhancing their economic condition. Shristi’s primary objective is to work with the informal/rural sector and to provide technological know-how along with appropriate interventions. Shristi aims to create self-sustaining, viable producer groups and encourage them to use their own inherent skills as a means of employment, income generation and economic self-sufficiency.
Shristi's progress towards its vision is powered by a team of committed and expert professionals in technical, management, legal, statistical, economics, marketing and logistics sectors who work in complete tandem and dedication. The team members are regularly exposed to national and international training and skill development programmes so as to keep them abreast with the latest happenings. To supplement this, Shristi maintains associations with monitoring laboratories, equipment fabricators, instrumentation/civil/ mechanical and electrical accessories suppliers.
Shristi has extensively worked with the Government and has carried out a number of Research projects and studies for the Office of the Development Commissioner, Handicrafts, Ministry of Textiles, Ministry of Social Studies and Empowerment, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Environment and Forests and the Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi.
Shristi has undertaken several assignments on action-oriented research and consultancy assignments in Policy Research and Development Planning; Project Appraisal on Social Relevance; Study of Infrastructure and Social Services; Survey Research and a large number of Evaluation and Assessment studies over a period spanning more than 13 years.
Currently Shristi is operating on a national scale with offices in New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Ahmedabad.
