In early 2016, a few friends residing in different corners of India, and bound by the passion to make a small yet significant difference in the development indices of populations that don't have the opportunities of the privileged, got together to set up a charitable trust dedicated to skill building of the less privileged in the fields of health, education and environment. Thus, EcDEESHA Foundation was born. The name conveys the commitment of the stakeholders towards a unidirectional focus- that is skill enhancement in the above fields. The foundation was formally registered on 22nd February, 2017 with the Charity Commissioner in Anand, Gujarat.
