One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Our Mission:
Open hearts.
Opening minds, hearts, and doors to the rich educational and research opportunities of India.
Discover India with our Immersion Programs
We are offering four fully-funded Immersion Programs in June/July 2019 for faculty and leaders of academic institutions, Indian diaspora community, and philanthropic organizations in the U.S. to meet and connect with inspiring founders and visionaries of social and educational organizations across India. Manodharma has been fostering such connections to create transformative study-abroad experiences for the last 13 years.
Come join us and we promise to challenge your intellectual preconceptions, to stir your heart, and to open your eyes to the rich tapestry of Indian contexts in its myriad dimensions.

A tribute to a friend
In 2018, Manodharma lost a dear friend in Shekar Kulkarni- the founder of one of our partner organizations and a man who embodied in every way the spirit of generosity and human connection our programs promote.
