About Utkal Welfare Trust
With so much of the world beset by crises, disasters, and conflicts, what can we
do to improve stability, peace, and prosperity in some of the most fragile
regions of the world? And in emerging economies like India that are experiencing
such rapid change, what investments can we make to ensure that these economies
continue to grow with strong health and education indicators besides integrating
into the global system?
These are vital questions that governments around the world, NGOs, policymakers,
and businesses ask daily. But we know the answer, and the answer lies in
investing in people. Investing in human capital is an investment that returns
huge dividends. By improving the capacity of people to govern, educate, produce
for themselves, and reintegrate themselves into mainstream Indian society, the
Utkal welfare Trust is advancing its mission to serve the society. This Trust,
with several projects primarily in health, education and media sectors; aims at
the welfare of the most underprivileged section of our society.

About us
Unleashing Potential, Nurturing Progress
The geographical areas we cover for the time being are the rural and
the urban areas of the eastern Indian state of Odisha. It is our
fervent hope that we would be able to implement our vision in the
shortest possible time. Our people have waited too long to see
meaningful benefits accrue to them. They have toiled and suffered,
and yearned for many things that never came their way. We owe it to
our people to deliver to them what we can. In the same spirit, I
would request all our well-wishers including national and
international funding organizations to support and encourage us in
our right cause.
We pray to God to give us the strength and capability to achieve the
tasks that we have set for ourselves. These are challenging times
for nonprofit organizations — but they are also ripe for more
meaningful examinations and new opportunities. These times call for
bold leadership guided by a moral compass. We pledge that we will
also try to better understand the needs of our community and will be
more strategic in our response. Leadership requires that we
sometimes walk a few steps ahead to identify impactful strategies;
that we sometimes walk beside you to have a better grasp of where
you are coming from; and that we sometimes follow your wise
lead.
The promise to do good begins with the spirit of caring and empathy.
If we can put ourselves in our neighbor’s shoes, we understand that
a community only thrives when there is kindness, justice, equity,
and inclusion. As we begin serving the community, we celebrate the
accomplishments and progress that have only been possible because of
all of you. We are inspired by current and former trustees,
fundholders, donors, nonprofit staff and board, teachers, mentors,
and all partners who believe in the simple premise of “together, we
do better.” And with great humility and unwavering commitment, we
are determined to do better every year.
