About Company

The Centre for Advanced Research & Development was established in India, with Head Office at Bhopal in the State of Madhya Pradesh. CARD started by developing a strong grassroots presence in some distinct regions of Central India; namely, Gond -predominant eastern tribal region (Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh), plateau region of Malwa - agriculturally rich central India Feudal region, and Bhil predominant western tribal region, in pockets that had high incidence of poverty among scheduled castes, backward classes, and tribals. Poverty alleviation and other rural development initiatives were started in these pockets of poverty. We made a limited beginning but successfully created opportunities for livelihoods promotion. Later CARD started operations in Haryana, Punjab, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh, reaching out to thousands of deprived households with field offices at around 27 locations across India. CARD’s expertise is its action research on development issues, and studies range across different developmental themes, covering the whole of India. The management of CARD is in the hands of committed professionals who make an exciting mix of youth and experience. The CARD faculty consists of experts from various fields, including mainstream development professionals, government officials, academicians, and enterprising individuals in private institutions. The core of our efforts is to bring our team’s expertise, experience, and passion to the range of our developmental initiatives.
