Aaryadhy Rural Development Foundation

Aaryadhy Rural Development Foundation is located way out in Murde, which is part of the Khed taluka in the Ratnagiri district. We are set up care of Shri Badbe Vasant Laxman. It’s a very traditional village setting, and our office is basically part of a local house. Ratnagiri is known for its beauty, but life in the rural parts like Murde can be quite tough sometimes. We are right in the middle of it all. There are no big neon signs for our foundation. We are just known by the name of the house and the people who work there. It’s a small operation, and we like it that way because it keeps us connected to the ground. We handle rural development projects from this little base. Usually, you’ll find us sitting on the porch or at a small wooden desk inside. The sounds of the village are always in the background—goats, birds, and people talking as they walk by. It’s a peaceful place to work. We don't have fancy brochures or a marketing team. We just have our hands and our time. If you’re coming to see us, you have to take the road towards Khed and then ask someone for Murde. Once you’re in the village, finding the Badbe residence is pretty simple. We are just local people trying to help out where we can, without any big corporate talk or polished images. It's just honest work in a quiet village.
