Corporate Capability Statement
An in-depth look at our history, organizational structure, core competencies, and credibility.
Our Journey
The Anubhav Pratishthan Trust (APT) traces its roots back to 2009, beginning as the Graduate Volunteer Scheme (GVS) at SNDT Women's University. Driven by a passion for social change, our founders—a group of dedicated social workers and environmentalists—recognized the critical need for structured intervention in rural Maharashtra.
By 2013, this collective vision matured into an independent, officially registered Trust. Our core philosophy has always centered around uplifting marginalized communities, particularly Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, by enabling organized, data-driven action. We believe that empowering these communities at the grassroots level creates a cascading effect of comprehensive sustainable development.
