To create an alternative people-centered society based on the human values of Justice, Peace, Solidarity, equality, participation and self-reliance.

PIPAR (People's Institute for Participatory Action Research) programs and activities are driven by the philosophy that people are the final arbiters of their own development; therefore the process of development should be based on common awareness, analysis, mobilization and action of the people. The organisation firmly believes that any development program would be effective & successful to the extent it would raise people's capacity to participate in the process for self-reliance & growth.
