The purpose of creation of the Trust is as follows:
The village is losing its relevance at this time of the 21st century. It has been the trend since ages that in many parts of India, villages could not be developed. Along with this, tribal society has also been neglected. In these rural and tribal societies, the basic facilities required to live a normal life is yet to reach. On the other hand, in the process of development, these societies' rights to water, forest and land are being stripped away. Due to this background, there is a large migration of people from these areas.

As a result, important practices of Indian rural culture are gradually disappearing or are on the brink of disappearance. The aim of the organization is to search for traditions that may soon cease to exist. The efforts of the organization will be ;o research, identify and preserve these traditions. As recognized by the framers of the constitution and endorsed by the organization, only if Indian rural society and tribal culture is protected will the soul of India be protected.
