About Local2Global Foundation
Local2Global Foundation is a non-governmental, non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening economically and socially marginalized communities through inclusive and sustainable development. The Foundation works without discrimination of caste, religion, gender, or creed, and believes that true national progress begins with empowered local communities.
Our mission is to uplift rural women, youth, artisans, and farmers by improving their socio-economic conditions through skill development, livelihood creation, education, healthcare, and social awareness. We focus on building women-led institutions, promoting self-employment, strengthening local enterprises, and nurturing community-based solutions aligned with the spirit of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Local2Global Foundation operates at the grassroots level, identifying local strengths and transforming them into sustainable opportunities with access to wider markets. With community participation, ethical practices, and guidance from local leaders, we strive to create equal opportunities and long-term impact.
Our vision is to build a self-reliant, empowered, and inclusive society—where local potential grows into national and global opportunity.

Founder’s Message
– Setha Singh Rawat
The journey of LOCAL2GLOBAL began not merely as an organization, but as a belief—a belief in the vision of a truly Atmanirbhar Bharat.
I strongly believe that the dream of a self-reliant India can only be realized when rural India becomes strong, confident, and empowered. The real strength of our villages lies in their women, youth, artisans, and farmers.
With this belief, I began Darji Online as a grassroots initiative to connect rural women with skill training, stitching, and livelihood opportunities. This experience led to the creation of LOCAL2GLOBAL MART PRIVATE LIMITED, taking local products to national and global markets.
Why LOCAL2GLOBAL FOUNDATION
LOCAL2GLOBAL FOUNDATION represents the next and more purpose-driven step in this journey. Through the Foundation, our objective is to empower rural communities by identifying local strengths, providing skill training, supporting enterprises, and enabling access to national and international markets.
We are committed to promoting the spirit of “One District One Product (ODOP)” and nurturing district-specific potential into sustainable livelihoods.
Our Belief
Development does not flow from the top down—it grows from the ground up. When rural women organize themselves and youth step into entrepreneurship, lasting change becomes possible.
The Road Ahead
Our commitment is unwavering—to transform local skills into global opportunities, empower rural women and youth as leaders, and contribute meaningfully to a self-reliant and inclusive India.
