Focus Areas
Rural Transformation
Reliance Foundation works tirelessly towards enriching the lives of people belonging to the marginalised communities of India. It enhances livelihood opportunities and provides relevant information that helps reduce risk for rural communities. Furthermore, by deploying locally-relevant solutions, it enhances rural livelihoods in agriculture, marine fisheries and other farm and non-farm based activities.
Health
Reliance Foundation has worked towards enhancing access to quality and affordable healthcare in India. The Foundation’s ‘Health for All’ initiative and integrated healthcare model provides continuum of care to the most vulnerable sections of society, through a network of healthcare delivery mechanisms.
Education
There are significant inequalities in access to secondary education as far as income, gender, social group and geography are concerned. The capacity of the secondary schooling system needs to be significantly expanded across India. For instance, only 16% of India’s education budget is spent on secondary education compared to 62% for primary education (K., Biswal, 2011; Secondary education in India: Development policies, programmes and challenges).
Sports for Development
Sports brings cultures together, bridges gaps between countries and across generations, it is recognised as an essential element of learning through physical activities and games. These activities have been a great motivator to enhance the spirit of learning and leadership especially amongst the
rural children.
Disaster Response
With success comes responsibility and Reliance Foundation is committed to play a role in management of responsibilities and resources for dealing with disasters in an effective manner. The Foundation’s dedicated team manages relief operations right from situational assessment to relief camps, distribution of relief material and construction of midterm shelters. Reliance Foundation has the capacity to respond to disasters in a timely manner and engage directly with the affected communities.
Arts, Culture & Heritage
