We are seven! The journey has been challenging, but we’ve managed to sail through. And when we look at Haqdarshak’s impact numbers today, we couldn’t be more proud. As part of our annual impact analysis, this page is a showcase of the tremendous amount of work our field teams have put in.
Soon, we will also be releasing a more detailed impact report.
This year, we have distributed our impact numbers in six sections —
01/ Vehicles for Sustainable Change — Our Cumulative Reach

Vehicles for Sustainable Change
— Our Cumulative Reach
Linkages to social protection are more about long-term sustainability than the immediate benefits they provide. In fact, welfare programs help build resilience in the long run and enable improvement across various stages of the welfare value chain.
To date, we have impacted more than 26 lakh households and 36,662 businesses! Below is a snapshot of our overall numbers.

Building Positive Socio-Economic Outcomes
— Our Geographical Reach
From Nagaland to Gujarat, from Kashmir to Tamil Nadu, across 22 states and 5 Union Territories, we have managed to reach over 2.4 million households! While this is a significant number for a social impact startup, it’s still a drop in the ocean considering the number of families in need of social protection. We have miles to go but a big shoutout to each member of every field team at HQ — this would not have been possible without your support.

Our Contribution to the Enrollment of Citizens
in Flagship Schemes
Flagship welfare programs by the government of India address key concerns including access to healthcare, nutrition, education, employment, housing, financial security, and social security. Some flagship schemes have been designed to move the needle on climate change and gender equality, while others support agricultural workers and nano and micro enterprises to increase productivity. Through camps and door-to-door outreach, we have helped bring greater awareness about these flagship schemes, all the while assisting citizens in unlocking their benefits.

Documentation — A Critical Need
Identity documents with accurate information, whether for KYC or compliance/regulatory purposes, are the first step towards accessing benefits, and therefore, are a critical need for building an efficient social protection infrastructure. Most of the citizens we serve don’t have an Aadhaar card or say, a caste certificate; or even if they have an Aadhaar card, it probably hasn’t been seeded to their bank account which makes it impossible for them to receive benefits. These are problems we have identified over the years and have gotten better at solving. Plus, our ability to liaise with both government and bank officials gives us an edge — we are now indeed faster, better, and more efficient.

Target Cohorts
Most of the beneficiaries we work with are part of the informal sector. This includes agricultural workers, construction workers, micro-enterprise owners, migrant workers, and various other workers involved in a range of manufacturing and service occupations. Welfare programmes for the unorganised sector are often tied to the type of work performed, so they can be designed to cater to the sector-specific needs of target groups.
Our work has enhanced the accessibility of documents and identity and occupation-linked welfare schemes for various target groups. We conduct outreach and awareness-building activities through corporate and non-profit organisations focusing on critical and excluded groups of individuals. HQ’s work impacts various target cohorts — from farmers to sanitation workers, and now even the LGBTQIA+ community.
