For over five decades, Tagore Society for Rural Development (TSRD) has worked with rural communities to create sustainable livelihoods, strengthen local institutions and build pathways towards self-reliance.
Local people participate in identifying needs, planning programmes, implementation and monitoring—creating solutions rooted in real community priorities.
TSRD follows structured planning, monitoring, evaluation and reporting processes, with transparency and accountability embedded in its organisational values.
Our programmes connect livelihoods, agriculture, women empowerment, education, health, child protection, environmental action and disaster resilience.
Working across rural communities in West Bengal and Jharkhand.
Strengthening women's participation, livelihoods and collective leadership.
Including mangrove plantations supporting environmental restoration in the Sundarbans.
Since 1969, TSRD has worked alongside marginalized rural communities to strengthen livelihoods, build local capacities and create inclusive development opportunities.
Our approach is rooted in community participation, local ownership and long-term sustainability, ensuring that people are not simply beneficiaries of development but active partners in shaping it.
People are at the centre of every programme, actively participating in planning, implementation, monitoring and decision-making.
We build skills, institutions and leadership so local communities can continue driving development beyond individual projects.
Trusted by our volunteers for transparency.
