Oxfam is marking its 65th year in India this year. In 1951, Oxfam Great Britain came to India during the Bihar famine to launch its first full - scale humanitarian response in a developing country.
Over the past 64 years, Oxfam has supported civil society organisations across the length and breadth of the country. In 2008, all Oxfams working in India came together to form Oxfam India, a fully independent Indian organisation (with Indian staff and an Indian Board), which is a member of a global confederation of 18 Oxfams.
KNOW MORE >Oxfam’s vision is a just world without poverty; a world in which people can influence the decisions that affect their lives, enjoy their rights, and assume their responsibilities as full citizens of a world in which all human beings are valued and treated equally.
The purpose of Oxfam is to help create lasting solutions to address the injustice of poverty. We have to create a society for all, where equality prevails and every individual can exhibit his/her right to a safe
and happy life.

OXFAM GOAL saving lives, now and in the future
By 2020, fewer women, men and children will die or suffer from injustice and deprivation from increasingly frequent natural disasters and conflict. At risk communities realise their rights to have clean water, food, sanitation and other fundamental needs. The communities will be free from violence during a crisis and take control of their own lives in dignity.

“In India . . . we must aim at equality.
That does not mean and cannot mean that everybody is physically or
intellectually or spiritually equal or can be made so.
But it does mean equal
opportunities for all, and no political, economic or social barrier. . .
It means a realisation of the fact that the backwardness or degradation of any group is not due
to inherent failings in it, but principally to lack of opportunities and long suppression by other groups.”
Jawaharlal Nehru
