What We Do
People’s Action for National Integration (PANI) is a leading development organization in Uttar Pradesh, incorporated under Societies Registration Act XXI, 1860. It was founded by a group of Gandhian social activists in 1986 and was registered in 1989.
Mission
Our mission is to empower people so that they have greater control over their life situations and take responsibility to make a world that is mutually rewarding.
Vision
PANI envisions itself as a medium for building an inclusive society that prospers in harmony with its surroundings.
Our Core Values
- Equity: We strive for a world where wealth and resources are distributed fairly. The success of development can be measured by the well-being of the least powerful people in a society.
- Dignity: PANI’s goal is to enable and empower every individual to live with dignity. While the focus of our work is on the communities especially in the rural areas, the principal of life with dignity applies equally to our employees and partners.
- Integrity: Honesty of thoughts and deeds at individual level and as an organization, is the cornerstone at PANI.
- Transparency and Accountability: We provide accurate and relevant information to partner organizations and to the community members with whom we work. We abide by the all the legal and regulatory requirements, and hold ourselves ethically responsible for the work that we do.
