Power of Soul
Atmashakti, meaning “power of the soul,” reflects our belief that the strength of a community
lies in its collective spirit. Registered in 1995 and actively working since 2009, we’ve been
channeling this inner power to unite and empower marginalized communities, with a focus
on reaching 10% of the rural poor, especially among Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes.
As a catalyst for change, we build/facilitate community’s agency within these communities,
enabling them to assert their rights, influence policy, and ensure their voices shape inclusive
development. Through collective action and shared agency, Atmashakti transforms grassroots
strength into powerful, transformative change.
Why We Matter
The success of India’s Jal Jeevan Mission, where
grassroots advocacy helped provide clean water
to over 60 million households by 2024, shows
the power of community involvement. Should
we rethink our approach and start creating
solutions with grassroots wisdom, rather than
solely relying on government intervention?
Four Pillar Strategy
We incubate people’s structure to connect the
most remote village to the state and national
governance by championing a cadre of leaders
and amplifiers from the community and doing
synchronized action on one issue at a time to
accelerate social change.
Where We Are
Joy to Share
“A 15-Year Journey: From Voices to Victory, From
Rights to Reality” – Over the past 15 years, we have transformed voices into victories and rights into realities, empowering communities and creating lasting change through unwavering commitment and collective action.”
