Annual Reports & Financial Declaration

We continue to build on the belief that solving the challenges faced by the most excluded communities requires a holistic approach which centres their voices and builds their resilience. This 360 degree approach means that we invest in a range of solutions across all our areas of work.  Healthcare continues to be the focus of the Trusts’ efforts over the years, stemming from the resolve that the country should not lag in this field due to a lack of facilities and capabilities. The partnership with the Government of Madhya Pradesh, for example, resulted in rapid progress in the setting up of a Comprehensive Primary Health Care model in the state. Simultaneously, the leveraging of technology platforms strengthened the quality of services to facilitate equitable healthcare for all. In fact, the adoption of cutting-edge technology is the hallmark of healthcare infrastructure. There is a need for more innovative solutions like HealSeq, incubated by the India Health Fund seeded by the Trusts, which reduces the diagnosis time of drug-resistant tuberculosis from 4 months to 2 weeks.

Our region of the globe continues to work to advance gains in the nutritional status of women and children. The Trusts will renew its efforts in improving nutritional outcomes not only by strengthening work at the systemic levels, in improving quality and access to fortified and enriched diets, but also by trying to bring about changes in community norms.  We recognise that primary health and education are two key entry points in the nation’s development journey, whose key marker is both reflected in and affected by our children’s nutritional status. 

Sustainability plays a pivotal role in our approach to development.  The Trusts have always recognised that achieving sustainability requires  diverse approaches and deep meaningful collective effort. One such effort has been our response to the climate emergency. The Trusts incubated the India Climate Collaborative as a pioneering climate funding accelerator in the region. We are now positioned to be a frontrunner in global philanthropic leadership to build climate resilience. The Trusts commit to building similar programmes at scale, leveraging collaborations with fellow donors, and continuing its engagement with a range of relevant and like-minded partners from civil society and across the private and public sectors. While the Trusts seek to tirelessly work deeply and at scale for social transformation, we also commit to celebrate, animate and rejuvenate the arts, culture and creative economies of which our nation has a rich and diverse resource. 

Advancements in science and technology continue to promise solving the most pressing development challenges.  With our deep commitment to the holistic well-being of humanity, we will continue to foster creative human potential across our entire value chain.  In all that we do, the Trusts endeavour to hold up the torch passed down by our Founders – to give back to communities and to lift their voices as we move towards a more just, inclusive and equitable future for all.
