Development Alternatives Foundation
The Development Alternatives Foundation is an initiative of the Society
for Development Alternatives (Ashok Khosla) and IMSA Amsterdam and promotes social
programmes and socially responsible enterprise in India and other
developing countries. The foundation supports scientifically-founded
activities that are aimed at eradicating poverty and conserving natural
resources. In this way, wide and sustainable social-economic
development can be promoted.
Another important task of the foundation is fundraising. Funds raised
are used especially to support socially responsible enterprises in
reaching their goals in sustainable development. The foundation
supports amongst others, Society for Development Alternatives (DA),
Society for Technology and Action for Rural Advancement (TARA),
Decentralised Energy Systems Pvt Ltd (DESI Power) and TARAhaat
Information and Marketing Systems (TARAhaat).
