Ragni Foundation

Ragni Foundation is located in Village Nanaurtola, which is part of the Nanaur panchayat in the Andhratharhi block. We are set up at Nikhil Kumar Mishra’s house. It’s a typical village house, nothing too fancy or modern. We have a couple of rooms where we keep our files and do our work. The block office isn't too far away, so we are often back and forth. Living and working in Nanaur means we know almost everyone. It’s a close-knit place. We don't really have a big marketing plan or anything like that. We just focus on what’s right in front of us. Most of the time, the work involves talking to the local people and seeing how things are going in the village. It can be slow going sometimes, especially during the harvest season when everyone is busy in the fields. We don't mind. We just take things as they come. There’s no big hurry out here. We drink a lot of tea and talk through things. It’s an honest way to live. We’re not trying to be the biggest foundation in the state. We just want to do okay by our neighbors. The house is easy to spot if you ask anyone in the Tola. They’ll point you right to us. We’ve got a small wooden sign near the gate, but it’s a bit faded now from the sun.
