Nirmaan Society

Nirmaan was founded in 2008 as a response to the realisation that a number of communities, who spoke their own unique languages were being marginalise Read mored. Although information of these communities was sometimes featured within the public sphere, it was evident that little was being done to empower them. Therefore, Nirmaan undertook research among a few of these language communities and noticed a pattern - when a community’s language is different from that of the state language, their development is generally limited. We also found that they were often segregated from the mainstream of society. They had also developed an attitude of dependence on various government schemes and policies for their continued sustenance. ​While engaged in research, we were constantly challenged by members of such communities to help them develop. They were vocal in expressing their situation by showing us the difficulties they had in securing their daily needs, obtaining quality education and maintaining a holistic lifestyle. We realised that the key to their development lay within their language; a tool that shaped their world view and culture. We could employ this tool to ensure and empower their development. Our Vision: A just and equal society where marginalised language communities realise their fullest potential. Our Mission: To assist marginalised language communities in securing a wholistic, dignified and self-sustainable quality of life, by empowering their development.

Nirmaan's vision is to achieve a just and equal society where marginalised language communities realise their fullest potential. Their mission is to assist society in ensuring that marginalised language communities are afforded equal opportunity to secure a wholistic, dignified and self-sustainable quality of life, by empowering their development.
