We don’t just run programs. We walk with communities — listen to them, learn with them, and act alongside them. Whether it’s a street filled with bicycles or a classroom filled with heritage, every outcome is a shared story of hope.

- Our Causes
We do not run campaigns; we build movements
GreenCircuit is Vikasana’s umbrella initiative promoting eco-conscious mobility and mindful living. Through grassroots campaigns like CycleStreet and Ecomiles, it empowers communities to adopt low-carbon habits, reclaim public spaces, and embrace sustainability in everyday life — transforming footsteps and pedal strokes into collective climate action and healthier futures.
Samskruthi: Bringing Culture Back to the Classroom In many schools today, festivals live only in textbooks. Folk songs are forgotten. Stories are replaced by screens. The rhythm of our culture — once woven into daily life — has grown faint.
That’s where Samskruthi steps in. Samskruthi is not just a program. It’s a revival — of stories, songs, crafts, and the timeless ways through which children once learned about life. It reawakens classrooms that have fallen silent and brings heritage back into the hands, voices, and imaginations of children.

“I’ve donated to many NGOs, but Vikasana truly stood out. When I saw the CycleStreet photos from schools I grew up around, I felt connected. Giving here feels like giving home a better future. Donation that fullfilled my exprectation”
“What moved me was how Vikasana blends tradition with action. I contributed to Samskruthi and later received a video of kids performing local folk songs. It wasn’t just a donation it felt like I was keeping something sacred alive.”
“Their preventive health campaign, Unnati, reminded me that basic awareness can save lives. I donated in memory of my father and they acknowledged it in the kindest way. Vikasana feels like a family that truly values every rupee.”
“I wanted my donation to support women’s safety, and Varidhi gave me confidence that change was real. Their workshops aren’t just lectures they build real-life strength in young women. I’m proud to support their work.”
