about us

The term ‘Kriti’ is a Hindi word that means ‘creation’. As a development research, praxis & communication team, KRITI aims at providing a creative expression to development thought & action. Our logo symbolises the branches of learning that grow every day, creating spaces for networking ideas & sharing a vision for collective being, seeing & doing.

Registered as a Public Trust in New Delhi, we are an independent, self-sustaining team of development activists & professionals who started working together in 1999. Through a cross-cutting analysis of class, caste, gender, religion & region in our work, we aim to make development theory & practice, holistic, people-oriented & accountable.

As a development support team we provide a range of information and capacity building services to a wide constituency — from people’s movements to international agencies; trade unions to women’s groups; government to social development organisations, media persons to individual activists, &, academicians to students.
