In 2002, a small group of changemakers started a humble journey with a single mission: to help rural women harness technology for livelihoods. What began as a community-based effort soon evolved into something far larger to create sustainable happiness - connecting people, knowledge, and innovations to transform lives - a movement to help India’s indigenous wisdom bridge with modern science. 

  Indigenous and Frontier Technology Research Centre (IFTR), as an institution we don’t innovate. We prefer to co-create solutions with communities, stakeholders, ecosystem players, experts, and institutions, making them partners in progress.
