VARISTH Global
Partner with Us
VARISTH Global Foundation is a NITI-Aayog-registered voluntary association working across six Schedule VII CSR categories — disaster management, heritage conservation, public health, environmental sustainability, defence research, and armed-forces welfare. Every project is anchored to a Sustainable Development Goal, led by serving officers and senior academics, and reported with transparency.
VARISTH offers something rare: deep institutional credibility, ground-level field execution, and academic rigour — under one roof. Here is what your contribution buys.
One partnership with VARISTH satisfies multiple Schedule VII CSR categories — disaster management, heritage, healthcare, environment, armed-forces welfare and research. Your CSR portfolio gets diversification without onboarding multiple NGOs.
Founded and led by serving Indian Army officer Col. Ritesh Kumar. Mission discipline. Audit-readiness. Zero tolerance for project drift. Every rupee traceable to outcome.
