Trust believes that development of the poor without refining their circumstance is
neither conceivable nor sustainable however development can be self sustaining
only, if it brings about a change in the entire socio-economic matrix governing their
lives in order to reach the poor stage of social consciousness and empowerment.
It considers the following four interventions.
- Human resource development
- Attitudinal changes
- Economic development
- Self management

backward region of Karnataka. PAHRST has been successfully implementing various
programs for the well-being of needy in Bangalore & Ramnagar districts. As already

marginal farmers are viewed as key agents of change for socio-economic development

developed with multiple interventions apart from programs for education and skill
development.
