Devodhya Foundation
“Rural India is not behind — it’s just waiting to lead.”
At Devodhya Foundation, we believe in the untapped potential of India’s villages. Born not in a boardroom but in the heart of rural Bihar, Devodhya is more than a nonprofit—it’s a movement.
We’re built on a bold idea:
👉 Compassion, when structured, can scale.
👉 Villages, when empowered, don’t need saving — they become centers of innovation, dignity, and hope.
👤 Our Story
Created by Shantanu Jha, a technology leader who returned to his roots, founded Devodhya with a single mission: to act where others turned away.
“What began as a response to injustice and underdevelopment has grown into a movement—lighting streets, educating children, training athletes, aiding farmers, and restoring healthcare in forgotten corners of India.”
