The Deendayal Research Institute was founded in 1968 by Nanaji Deshmukh as a 'think and do tank' applying the philosophy of Integral Humanism to rural reconstruction. Since 1991 its flagship work has been the Chitrakoot Self-Reliance Campaign on the Madhya Pradesh-Uttar Pradesh border, alongside programmes in Beed, Nagpur and Gonda covering income generation, water and sanitation, health, climate-resilient agriculture and forestry.
