IDRF is a small U.S.-based nonprofit focused on sustainable socio-economic development in remote parts of India. It works with marginalized communities, delivering skills training, essential services, and infrastructure through programs organized around six focus areas: children's education, women's empowerment, sustainable rural development, healthcare, good governance, and post-disaster relief and rehabilitation. The organization emphasizes local leadership and aims to empower the poor to drive meaningful change, with particular attention to the needs of women and children. Based in North Bethesda, Maryland, IDRF operates in the civic and social sector. As a tax-exempt nonprofit, it partners with grassroots NGOs to implement projects across India and serves disadvantaged groups regardless of religion, caste, or creed. In May 2019, IDRF partnered with Sewa Bharti Jammu and Kashmir to implement a disaster-response project for affected communities.
