As Dr. Reddy’s Foundation enters its thirtieth year, the 2025–26 Annual Report explores how experience in the field can translate into a stronger institutional role. Recognition as an NCVET Awarding Body and a strategic partnership with ICAR mark this progression, opening new possibilities for certified learning and bringing agricultural science closer to small farmers. The report also follows quieter changes that matter deeply in everyday life, from earlier cancer screening at rural PHCs to entrepreneurs with disabilities building greater independence and farmers finding confidence in unfamiliar practices. Practical innovations, including a field-tested cabbage harvester, reveal how solutions emerge from attention to local constraints. Throughout, the emphasis is on connecting evidence, partnerships and execution rather than pursuing expansion alone. Read this edition to discover how three decades of learning are shaping DRF’s response to changing livelihoods, climate uncertainty and new technologies, while keeping the aspirations of low-income households firmly in view.
