INDIAN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION (IDF)(formerly Indian Leprosy Foundation) is a leading national NGO committed to Health, Education and Development.

OUR VISIONTo work towards creating a better India which provides basic health, education and empowerment to every citizen.

OUR MISSIONTo be a Knowledge/Execution Partner of Schools, NGOs, Corporates, and Government agencies for development programs across India.

OUR WORK IN THE AREA OF HEALTH CARE IDF has contributed significantly in designing Communication Strategies for leprosy elimination in India. Leprosy was rampant in India for 5000 years. In 1982, India had an estimated 4 million leprosy patients. Leprosy has medical and social dimensions and social boycott of patients aggravated the situation. Our Foundation, formerly known as Indian Leprosy Foundation, helped in designing "Communication Strategies and Management" towards bringing down the case load from 4 million in 1982 to less than 1 lakh within just 23 years. India declared its leprosy elimination status to the world in 2005, making it a major success in independent India! Indian Leprosy Foundation was then rechristened as Indian Development Foundation (IDF) with an expanded and diversified plan to fit in with the national priorities.

children from rural areas of Rajasthan in 2005. Currently IDF has 190+ Bal

Gurukuls across India and hopes to exceed 500 Bal Gurukuls by the year 2025.
