Our story

Twenty-five years of quiet, local work.

Isar Ibrat Foundation was registered as a charitable society with the Registrar of Firms, Societies & Chits, Uttar Pradesh on 30 November 1999 (registration no. 2052/1999-2000). It grew out of a simple conviction shared by its founders in Hardoi: that education, basic health and honest information are the surest ways to lift a rural community — and that they should reach the families who have the least access to them.

Its registered memorandum sets out a deliberately broad charitable mandate — the social, educational, moral and intellectual development of the general public — with education at its heart, alongside vocational training, community health, and rural and environmental development.

Over more than two decades that mandate has taken practical shape: road-safety awareness campaigns that reach local school students, free eye check-up and spectacle-distribution camps, community awareness seminars and street plays, and welfare programmes for minority communities — much of it delivered in partnership with government departments. In 2012 the Foundation received Income Tax recognition under Sections 12AA and 80G, and its name appears in the published records of national institutions from 2019 onward.

Open and accountable

We publish our registration, our documents and our records, and we account for our work honestly — nothing about the Foundation should be hard to verify.

On the ground

A few moments from our work.

How we are run

Governed by a managing committee.

The Foundation is governed by a managing committee — most recently certified as a twelve-member body with a patron, president, vice-president, general secretary/treasurer, secretaries, a legal adviser and an auditor. The certified 2019–20 committee list forms part of our registered record.

Under our registered rules, accounts are audited annually, funds are held in the society's name at a nationalised or scheduled bank, and changes to the rules require a two-thirds majority of the general body.
