iCFDR focusses on long-term projects and awareness in the areas of education,

strive to meet the goals set by the organisation for itself and to enable the organisation
to drive the society towards the vision that the organisation has.
HOW IT STARTED
While working in the UK in 2011 after completing his MBA from Glasgow Caledonian
University, Scotland, Ravindra Vikram Singh had the urge to start an organisation that
would work on improving the condition of this motherland, India. Ravindra gave up his
corporate career to start iCFDR in 2013. The organisation’s activities are presently
conducted in New Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
In its long term project, the organisation has adopted a school in Badaun, Uttar
Pradesh and provides education to students from the 6th to 12th standard.

CHAPTER 2
FROMTHE FOUNDER
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. – Mahatma Gandhi
iCFDR was founded with three primary aims- providing education to
underprivileged, gender equality and creating awareness on sustainability. In the past
one year, we have organised events and campaigns that have addressed each of the
mentioned aims.
iCFDR has adopted a school in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh and has used this
institute as a platform for conducting several of its events. The school is sponsored
by iCFDR now and it also ensures that students at the school are getting a quality
education despite the weak financial position of their families.
In the future, we would strive to increase our activities and start operating in
more cities. Our partners, donors and team have been a very important part of our
journey so far and we trust that, with their continued support, we shall be able to grow
larger every passing year.
Flip inside the pages of our first annual report and give us your valuable
suggestions so that we can improve our work and help us serve you and the cause
better. This is our first year and we are planning to expand. All this was not possible
without your constant guidance, feedback, help and support. We wish to thank you
sincerely for helping us help others.
Here are wishing a grand success to everyone in everything that they start this year.
- Ravindra Vikram
Founder, iCFDR
