NRIVA STRONG

Service | Transparency | Respect | Oneness | NextGen | Growth

Dear NRIVA Family,

It is truly inspiring to witness the remarkable journey and growth of NRIVA (NRI Vasavi Association). The impact we are making through our initiatives and signature services reflects NRIVA’s STRONG values and unwavering commitment to uplifting communities through education, healthcare, and social welfare.

In Karma Bhoomi (North America), our service initiatives have been both meaningful and far-reaching -- ranging from Food Drives, Blood Drives, Adopt-A-Road, Back-to-School Supplies, Adopt-A-Park, Women Empowerment, GoMatha, and our NRIVA Become-A-Tutor (NBaT) program in partnership with YCAP/YMCA & Brilliant Detroit. Additional services such as Physician Services, Youth Empowerment, and Vasavi Vidhya Nidhi continue to exemplify our dedication.

In Janma Bhoomi (India), our impact is equally profound through grassroot initiatives like Adopt-A-Student, Adopt-A-Village, Adopt-A-Parent, PusthakaMitra, and GoMatha. Our work supporting differently-abled individuals with Artificial Limbs, distributing essential groceries and medicines, and other outreach programs demonstrate NRIVA’s holistic commitment to community welfare.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to current and past NRIVA leaders, volunteers, and families for making the Oath Ceremony on January 25, 2025, in Massachusetts a grand success. Your presence reflected the unity and collective spirit that fuels NRIVA’s mission as we embark on the 2025–2026 term.

NRIVA continues to foster a culture of inclusivity, recognition, and transparency. We’ve taken meaningful steps to honor our past and senior leaders through personalized invitations, dedicated web pages, red-carpet tributes during major events, and a special video presentation highlighting NRIVA’s legacy -- bridging the past with our vibrant future.

In recent weeks, our focus has been on improving operational efficiency. We are developing detailed Playbooks for each committee -- outlining vision, objectives, structure, roles, and annual plans. These will support autonomous execution and empower our teams to deliver greater impact. Our seamless transition of the Secretary and Treasury teams stands as a testament to our organizational readiness and agility.

Looking ahead, there’s so much in store. We’re working to enhance NRIVA’s capabilities, sustainability, and scalability, with an ambitious vision to scale our services 10X in the next 10Years. Together, we can multiply our impact and bring lasting change to the communities we serve.

Thank you for being an integral part of this inspiring journey.

Jai Vasavi Matha!
