Wise Words From Our Executive Director
At MVS, our mission has always been to empower the marginalized and underprivileged sections of society. From the very beginning, we have worked tirelessly at the grassroots level, introducing innovative, tech-driven solutions to address the most pressing social challenges faced by vulnerable communities.
Our journey thus far has been marked by numerous milestones. We have implemented impactful projects that have improved access to education, healthcare, and clean water, while also fostering entrepreneurship and skill development for women and unemployed youth. Through our renewable energy and nutrition programs, we have helped communities become more self-sufficient and resilient. We have successfully implemented projects that provide clean water, renewable energy, and nutrition, and have promoted sustainable growth across multiple states in India. Our work in empowering women through menstrual hygiene initiatives and entrepreneurship programs stands as a testament to our vision of inclusivity and long-term social impact.
Looking ahead, the future of MVS is guided by a clear and ambitious vision. We believe that real, lasting change begins at the grassroots level but must be amplified by technology and innovation. As we strive to extend our reach, our vision is to continue bridging the gap between the underserved and the resources they need. This means leveraging technology to drive transformative change in healthcare, education, and livelihoods.
Our focus is not just on providing immediate relief, but on creating sustainable systems that empower individuals and communities to take control of their future. We aim to build a society where marginalized populations are no longer dependent on aid, but are instead equipped with the skills, knowledge, and tools necessary to become self-reliant, contributing members of a growing, inclusive economy.
At MVS, we are not just envisioning a better future—we are actively building it, one community at a time. Our strength lies in our collaborations, the trust of our partners, and the dedication of our team. Together, we will continue to break barriers and create opportunities for those who need them the most.
Thank you for your support in this journey. Together, we will make an enduring difference.

About the Founder
Dr. Srikrishna Sharma
(1962-2021)
Dr. Srikrishna Sharma was a man of remarkable depth, compassion, and determination. Born on 18th October 1962 into a humble rural family, he learned the values of hard work and perseverance from his parents—a school teacher and a farmer. From an early age, he was driven not just by the desire for personal success, but by a deep commitment to uplifting those around him, especially his family and his community.
What set Dr. Sharma apart was his unshakable belief that no matter where one starts, the path forward is shaped by dedication, kindness, and a vision for a better future. His parents’ struggles and strength were his greatest inspirations, fueling his lifelong passion for education, empowerment, and service to others. He earned an M.Sc. in Physics, an MBA, and a PhD, and was an alumnus of IIM Calcutta. Yet, despite his academic brilliance, it was his humility, generosity, and the genuine love he had for helping others that left an indelible mark on all who knew him.
Dr. Sharma’s personality was defined by empathy, resilience, and a quiet but powerful determination. His love for learning and a tireless quest for knowledge were at the heart of everything he did, but it was his compassion and unwavering commitment to others that truly defined him. Whether through personal mentorship, women’s empowerment initiatives, or his extensive philanthropic projects in rural development, animal welfare, and health, he always sought to uplift the most vulnerable.
He believed that small acts of kindness could ripple outward to create larger waves of change. Those who knew him speak of his warm heart, his genuine interest in the well-being of others, and his deep spiritual connection to the values of service and compassion.
Dr. Sharma’s passing in 2021 marked the loss of a remarkable individual whose life’s work continues to inspire. His spirit lives on in the projects he started and in the hearts of those who carry forward his vision. Through Manav Vikas Sanstha, his legacy of kindness, empowerment, and hope will continue to touch lives for generations to come.
Om Shanti.
