Human Resource
In its history of 20 Years, Morarka Foundation has been growing in leaps and bounds.
From just a small team of 5 persons in 1993-94, today it has become a 500+ strong team spread all over India. Outside India with strategic collaborations, it has many more professionals on board.
The workforce is divided according to the functional /intervention areas.In many places where it has collaborative initiatives the workforce is generally engaged by the partners.
The Morarka Foundation has been working in many areas. Still the core operational area is Nawalgarh, where a much larger diversity of activities and programs are implemented. Most of the socialsector servicedelivery activities such as health, education, savings, employment of handicapped etc are carried out in Nawalgarh and surrounding areas only.
The only exception to above is the HIV-AIDS prevention program among Commercial Sex Workers in desert districts of Rajasthan, namely Jaiselmer and Barmer.
The new and innovative initiatives are also first experimented at Nawalgarh only. The
E-LIBRARY, ON LINE EDUCATION, SOLAR LANTERN, COOKING GAS PROVISION etc are restricted to Nawalgarh.
Across the country and internationally it is focused on Organic Agriculture, Soil Fertility Management, Vermiculture, Biotechnology in Environmental Management, Food Quality Management, Information Technology Applications in Agriculture etc.
The Biotechnology for environmental management mostly for solid waste management and waste-water recycling is being taken up on professional fee basis.
Similarly since last few years farm consultancy, turnkey execution of organic farming management services, information technology application management works are also being introduced on fee basis.
The fee-based services are being taken up first to augment its own resources for R&D plus these services are given to corporate and government clients, who can afford to pay.
For each program the management team including technical experts& extension workers are engaged separately. The central administrative functions are managed through its corporate office in Jaipur.
