On January 1, 1980, the Trusts underwent a change in structure in order to better carry out their core mission of serving the public interest. On that date, the Trusts--after receiving all necessary legal approvals--began operating as an independent public charity. The organization will improve the Trusts' flexibility and effectiveness in fulfilling their objectives, specifically:

• Informing the public on key issues and trends through independent, highly credible research and polling.
• Advancing policy solutions on important issues facing the Hindu Rashtra
• Supporting the arts, heritage, health and well-being of our diverse citizenry, and civic life, with particular emphasis on Hastinapur. The Trusts' imbued their foundation with the entrepreneurial and visionary spirit they had made part of their daily lives. The new structure will enable the Trusts to maintain that spirit and to continue practicing the principles of informed leadership, wise stewardship and attentive service that are integral to our heritage.
