Drishti is a leading human rights and development organization that uses media, communications and the arts to strengthen India's social movements and organizations, in order to extend their reach and to increase the participation of marginalized communities.
Drishti pursues two strategies simultaneously. We aim to integrate a strong media, arts and communications focus into as many human rights, gender and development organizations as possible. At the same time, we enhance the potential of community members themselves to make their own media and cultural products. In our fifteen years of work, Drishti has entered into over 60 short-term and long-term strategic partnerships with organizations to execute projects in our key program areas: Community Radio and Video, Film Production, Theater, Public Arts, Campaign Creation and Development Communications Trainings for social action groups. Drishti has produced over 25 documentary films, four community radio programmes, designed over a dozen rights based campaigns, and conducted over 200 trainings on theatre and audio-visual production.
