Who We Are ? About Ranjhi Foundation

Our Philosophy

When we think about Ranjhi, we think of ‘collectivism’. Our philosophy is shaped on the basis of different attributes of the bamboo plant. The important characteristic of bamboo is that it grows collectively, sharing strength from each other’s roots with zero discrimination, and acts as an enhancing resource with a feature of sustainability. Therefore, the word ‘Ranjhi’ derived from this philosophy which means ‘a collective bunch of bamboos’ in Madiya language spoken in the tribal regions of India.
