The Indic Society for Education and Development is a not-for-profit organisation, established in India to extend a helping hand to the under-privileged sections of the Indian society, particularly in the rural and tribal areas. The benefits of the current economic growth and the innovations in technology are passing these groups by. In order for these groups to be active participants in the progress of the nation, and to enjoy the benefits of the economic growth, the privileged sections ought to bring them up by giving them a helping hand. The social, economical and technological upliftment has to be egalitarian, in an increasingly globalising world.
