Our Mission

Learn with Experts — Education for a Sustainable World

WDF Universe — established by Prof. Dr. Sir Hari Om Srivastava, President & CEO of the World Development Foundation — has been in the field of education and research for over 16 years, using innovative methodology including video, audio, text, multimedia, robotics, and AI. It is one of the best digital lifelong learning facilities on Earth, with a mission to educate the world population on SDG2030 and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by providing professional courses for continuing education and livelihood generation. Directed by Dr. Chandra Rashmi, former Principal of Bharati Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Jaunpur, Varanasi.
The Global Food Challenge: The 17 UN SDGs aim to end poverty and food deprivation from the globe by 2030. Three billion people in developing countries suffer from malnutrition, climate change, drought, floods, and lack of resources. According to FAO, 660 million people will still face hunger by 2030 — Asia: 520 million, Africa: 243 million. WDF Universe directly addresses SDG-2 Zero Hunger, SDG-4 Quality Education, SDG-5 Gender Equality, SDG-8 Decent Work, and SDG-10 Reduced Inequality through free, accessible education.
Knowledge Agriculture™ is at the heart of WDF Universe's agricultural curriculum — a process using Greenhouse technology, IoT (Internet of Things), Robotics, AI (Artificial Intelligence), UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), and specialised software for weather modelling, smart zone seeding, and fertiliser modelling. Farmers are equipped to raise food production, reduce cultivation costs, and move towards doubling farmer income — directly contributing to SDG-2 Zero Hunger as described in the book Smart Farming Meets Ancient Wisdom by Prof. Dr. Sir Hari Om Srivastava.
