Dharohar

What Dharohar does

Dharohar Charitable Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded in 2007 and headquartered in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, with a 128-person multidisciplinary team of educators, engineers, artists, and botanists. The foundation operates three core programmes under distinct sub-brands: 10 Lakh Vriksh (environmental restoration and tree-planting in local communities), Learning Experiences (structured educational workshops in schools and dedicated spaces such as Third Space, including Khoj, Debating, and Growth Mindset modules), and Sangrah (digitisation and cataloguing of over 2.5 million Indian manuscripts via a custom software platform, including a VSMP pilot for syllabus management). The technology stack is centred on the Sangrah platform for manuscript cataloguing and custom internal software, while programme delivery relies on a formalised volunteering model that maps school and volunteer needs, trains participants, supports delivery, and captures reflection. The business model is non-commercial: Dharohar does not charge for services, has no commercial pricing, and is supported through corporate sponsorship, with Secure Meters disclosed as the primary corporate sponsor and infrastructure host. The foundation serves local communities, students, and volunteers in and around Udaipur within the state of Rajasthan, and is governed with input from a multi-generational advisor panel ranging from age 10 to over 70.
