ABOUT US

To many, the word development is synonymous with material and physical progress. To us, development has to have a human face.

The organization is also recognized as one of the leading organizations in the Marathwada region.

It worked on immediate strategies, thinking side by side upon long-term solutions for the problems. The conscious understanding of root causes of social issues and interrelation between them enabled the organization to start series of developmental programs and interventions. The primary motivation, however, throughout remained the same – commitment to rural people…
