Origins - Rajshri hails from humble beginnings and having been raised in a family of farmers herself, she feels for the woes of rural units and is very passionate about making villages self-reliant.

Prior Work - Rajshri dedicates her time extensively to humanitarian causes. In 2014, after the Nepal earthquake she worked with an international NGO at one of the villages. In 2015, she adopted a drought-prone village in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra called 'Pandhari' and with the help of local villagers executed a rainwater harvesting project, built toilets, health care facilities and community motivation camps. Encouraged by the success and social participation, she adopted one more village in the region. In 2018, she created her NGO 'Nabhangan Foundation' ( www.nabhanganfoundation.org ) to broaden her efforts towards sustainable village development and the team finished building 3 eco-sensitive school and worked on water, Sanitation, women community centers and healthcare. During Covid Pandemic Team Nabhangan worked with more than 30 villages and now the whole team is making the same villages self-sustainable.
