Sunil Kumar Pal

As we move ahead of another milestone, it gives me great pleasure to share with you some of our recent experiences, challenges and achievements. From our humble beginnings in 1992 in one remote Block Angara, we have continued to play the role of a catalyst in mobilizing and empowering the marginalized communities through increased range of programs and activities to address the root causes of issues like poverty, deprivation, exploitation and abuse that hamper the realization of their civic and human rights From the marginalized beneficiary in remote village to the
People’s organizations, we see the beginning of transformational changes taking shape as our people start walking with a new purpose with renewed vigor.
We have continued our work in conservation and utilization of local resources to achieve ecological balance and build sustainable livelihoods.
As always, the challenges have been many, but as our vision gets transformed to veracity, many hurdles are watered down. We would not be reporting such progress if it were not for the unfailing support and contributions of our friends and supporters. I take this opportunity to thank our partners UNICEF, VSO, ADR, CWS, RMC, CHRI, NFI. NABARD, Seva network and Govt. of Jharkhand for sharing our collective dream and contributing their precious time and thoughts towards its realization.
