Late Mr. Kapoorchand M. Chandaria was a visionary leader who began
the effort to empower villages in the 1970s. Mr. Chandaria recognized
the significance of water and resources to be retained in a village
With a strong belief in building self-sustaining village communities
he established Anarde Foundation. His ideology was simple – rural
resources must be exploited by rural masses themselves, as they own them.
This continues to be the guiding principle for Anarde Foundation.
He was also involved with several other charitable activities for rural
development of India. The Chandaria Charitable Foundation Trust
runs 4 Uttarbuniyadi schools in Jamnagar for underprivileged rural children.

ACIL-Navasarjan Rural Development Foundation
Millions of people in India are suffering because of the coronavirus pandemic, especially our rural population who lost their livelihood because of the lockdowns. Thousand’s of villagers do not have access to food grains and other household items. In these difficult times, Anarde Foundation with the support of our donors provided sewing machines which were utilised by women from our SHG’s to make more than one lakh cotton face masks for the needy. Our teams also distributed ration kits to more than 5000 households across Gujarat and Maharashtra.
