‘The HCL Grant demonstrates our on-going support to help

NGOs build frameworks of social change. While navigating

the stop-and-start nature of the Covid-19 pandemic, the

NGOs have also scaled up their transformational work.

Their robustness and accelerated on-the-ground impact are

testimonial to their passion and zeal for bringing inclusion,

prosperity, and dignity to lives in the communities at the last

mile. We are confident that the Grant will go a long way in

scaling their innovative solutions.

Over the years, the HCL Grant has set standards in the

areas of enhancing accountability in civil society, accelerating

systemic change, strengthening government response and

fortifying the change-making quotient of communities. In the

past 6 years, our HCL Grant recipients have worked closely

with local populations across India to design and implement

pathways to transformative change.’
