Volunteer with us

Around the world, Art of Living is supported by many thousands of volunteers who have been the core part of our organizations. With the help of our volunteers so far we have gained a perception of the local problems, organizing events, campaigning, fundraising and execution of the projects. You will make new friends and learn skills while helping us to end the injustice of poverty. If you have time to give and the commitment to bring about change, get in touch with our local representative or write us back at info@ssrdp.org for being part of our mission.

SUPPORTS AND PARTNERS

“If every business house undertakes corporate social responsibility and decides to invest certain percentage of their profit in developing rural areas, India will have no hunger, no disease, no illiteracy. The Government alone can’t do this. NGOs and business organisations will have to come together to transform India and to bridge the gap between rural and urban India”
