Discover the century-long history, leadership, values, and governance charter of CSIINDIA, one of India’s foundational philanthropic institutions.

An Enduring Covenant with Society

An Enduring Covenant with Society

"What came from the people must in full measure return to the people."

Established over a hundred years ago during India's pre-independence struggle for economic self-reliance, CSIINDIA has always looked beyond conventional charitable handouts. Our foundational charter mandates the creation of robust national institutions—world-class research bodies, cancer hospitals, tribal development federations, and technical academies.

Today, we work with over 4,000 village panchayats and partner with premier scientific bodies to ensure that cutting-edge innovations—from genomics and precision diagnostics to solar-powered micro-irrigation—directly serve the most vulnerable citizens.
