Vikasana Institute for Rural and Urban Development is a secular & non-profit organization engaged in activities oriented to promote holistic development of the community since 1984. Motto of our organization is “To be self reliant and to help people become self-reliant”. Our vital object is to act as supportive agencies to assist the community-based organization, to become self-reliant.

VIKASANA is based with Registered and Administration Office at Mandya (District Head Quarters) and field offices at different districts. It is believed in community participation is the major tool for social development. It is playing an optimistic role in promotion of community participation in various forms.
