VAAGDHARA is non government organization, registered under The Societies Registration Act, 1958, and FCRA. VAAGDHARA was formed in 1986-87 as a result of efforts of a number of individuals including health professional, academics, farmers and social workers.

The organization, at a broader level, has always strived for the upliftment of tribal community through Policy advocacy, realization of child rights, empowering women and proofing the food security net of the community through their livelihood enhancement.
