Drishtee
works towards creating an impact on rural
lives by building an ecosystem
of micro-enterprises through Drishtee-trained
entrepreneurs. Operating where access is
difficult, the Drishtee model aggregates
communities around a village entrepreneur.
These micro-enterprises provide economic
opportunities to the poor by facilitating
access, generating employment and delivering
essential services in an affordable way.
Drishtee's network is growing
and with over 10000 entrepreneurs. This low
cost, direct delivery supply chain has in
turn created significant cost and time savings,
and provided an effective channel for enterprises
to sell a range of products and services. |

Against
the backdrop of a landscape where facilities,
awareness and doctors are in dire shoratage,
falling sick in a village is a curse. Prolonged
treatment and hospitalisation often lead
to a severe economic strain on families.
Drishtee addresses this critical need by
supporting women health franchisees at clusters
of villages on defined routes, and facilitating
their direct and indirect services. ( Read

Every
poor farmer has aspirations for his children
and intuitively knows that a better life
is possible only through education. To address
the lack of opportunity, Drishtee provides

education and vocational courses. It also
has created innovative livelihood options
along the lines of rural outsourcing units.

Alleviation (Finance & Banking) |
More
than any one else, the poor require financial
services to weather inconsistencies in the
rural market. In turn, they can plan for
their children's future, their own security,
and buid capacity to start their own micro
business. But there are no facilities available,
except the loan shark. With its network,
Drishtee is poised to extend banking services
through tie-ups with banks and micro-finance
services. ( Read

One in eight people on the planet lives
in an Indian village. That's 775 million people, about
half of whom live on less than $1 per day. Low income
levels of this population have been linked to few opportunities
to access markets.
Drishtee is present in over 12 states including the
north eastern states of Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Arunachal
Pradesh, and Bihar, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand,
Haryana, Tamil Nadu. It has also started to work in
Africa along with partners.
Drishtee is a for-profit company with a social vision
and works closely with Drishtee Foundation, its NGO
arm. Its subsidiary, Quiver InfoServices Ltd, focuses
on developing and implementing relevant rural services
along the Drishtee network.
