The ‘Friends of Adarsh’ group was started in 2000-01, having a particular section of the community in mind, that of people who could not devote much time or physical effort in the day to day running of the Trust, but were keen in helping Adarsh in some way or the other. But it was realized that these people could pitch in with their help not only financial but also the resources at their disposal like qualitative suggestions to improve the working of the Trust, technical help, manpower, utilization of their contacts for furthering the activities of the Trust and involving more people from the society etc.

Apart from the financial help, we would like the members to come out with more ideas for increasing the level of participation of the community, bringing in more members under ‘Friends of Adarsh’, outlining steps for more organizational and corporate support, increasing awareness among the society as well as a time bound implementation of all these ideas.
