History

Located in the central Travancore town of Pala in Kerala, India, INFACT (Information for Action) is a registered non-governmental organisation committed to the cause of sustainable living. Our involvement is pivoted on information dissemination and initiating participatory processes.

Vision

INFACT visualizes a society in which sustainability has been engendered as a living principle – in relationships, livelihoods and lifestyle of people.

Objectives

• To engender sustainable relations in society
• Soil, water and biodiversity conservation
• To strive for food and income security of the farmer community through sustainable agricultural practices
• To promote sustainable developmental initiatives for the rural poor especially the ignored farmers, women, children and labourers

Working Philosophy

INFACT seeks to achieve its objectives through the democratization of information and by making all its processes participatory in nature – among both external and internal stakeholders. By this what we mean is facilitating the community to develop sustainable solutions by themselves (collect information, analyze information, plan, implement, monitor, evaluate and update)
