Mission
Seva Mandir’s mission is to make real the ideas of society consisting of free and equal citizens who are able to come together and solve the problems that affect them in their particular contexts. the commitment is to work for a paradigm of development and governance that is democratic and polyarchic. It seeks to institutionalize the idea that development and governance is not only to left to the State and its formal bodies like the legislature and the bureaucracy, but that citizens and their associations should engage separately and jointly with the State.
The mission briefly, is to construct the conditions in which citizens of plural backgrounds and perspectives can come together and deliberate on how they can work to benefit and empower the least advantaged in society.
