What’s in a name?
Tarq means logic.
Astitva means existence.
Together, the name Tarq Astitva stands for an organisation which is grounded on reshaping the existence of the self or any entity through logic.
In it’s very first chapter, we are focusing on Rural India, which has long been reduced to either a crisis or a cause. Tarq Astitva rejects both narratives. We see the as economic and cultural engines waiting to be restructured on their own terms
Our name reflects what we do:
- Apply rigour and strategic thinking to rural systems
- Enable local communities to define and direct their own futures
- Ensure that identity—Astitva—isn’t symbolic, but structural
Tarq Astitva stands for the idea that when people understand the logic of the systems they live in, they can begin to reshape them.
