NEW INDIA is a State level Social Welfare & Cultural Development Civil Society Organization
Ongoing Activity
NEW INDIA, since its inception in 2nd October 1993, has been working to provide a platform for the vulnerable and deprived sections of the community whose voices remain unheard, fights ignored and basic entitlements are not accomplished. Therefore the main focus then was to create sensitization and awareness among people, mobilizing youth and working towards people’s collectives to let them realize their entitlements and strive to access. With changing development context and people’s knowledge and graduated need, the organisation relooked its strategic mandate and supported education, livelihood, financial inclusion, health and sanitation services. It has always reset its course to reinforce its commitment to the issues of human rights and poverty alleviation. In this light the organization has in the last 24 years expanded its gamut of activities based on the needs of the people. It adheres to an approach which is subject specific and works with a strategic framework, predominantly in a mission mode to address the diverse problems.
NEW INDIA stands tall to-day for the endeavour of a group of volunteers who untiringly worked and bestowed knowledge, time and support to help reach many milestones. To be more focused the pioneer of NEW INDIA realized that the project based activities alone are not enough to meet its stated objectives and soon adopted larger development framework with gamut of developmental, technosocial and social enterprise approaches.
The district of Dhenkanal was under the rule of kings during pre-independence and was subject to oppression and exploitation for ages. Even after about four decades of the independence the district had indicators low in terms of Human Development Index. This syndrome disturbed many; some of which came forward to associate and form a society, christened it NEW INDIA and legalized the association. The event materialized in the year 1994. Originally squeezed to address local issues, NEW INDIA graduated to become a state level agency (the legal registration permitting it) and embrace a wide range of sectors, sub-sectors and a wider range of geographical coverage within the defined contours of defined development
