IDCA provides a forum for networking and cooperation between non-profit organizations,non-governmental organizations and individuals that are interested in alleviating poverty while mitigating climate change through scalable sustainable development projects primarily in India. We feel that in order to alleviate poverty we need to create real wealth by addressing and improving many elements of our National life as represented by the acronym WEALTH described below.

Let New India arise- let her arise- out of the peasants' cottage, grasping the plough; out of the huts of fisherman, the cobbler, and the sweeper. Let her spring from the grocer's shop, from the oven of the fritter-seller. Let her emanate from factory, from marts and markets. Let her emerge from groves and forests, from hills and mountains. Swami Vivekananda
