Target Group and Area of Operation

From the beginning NYSASDRI is always striving for extending development programmes to the remote and needy regions where large numbers of deprived and neglected people are living without access to any kind of service. Hence, the organisation is working in distant and inaccessible forest patches in the central, northern, southern and western parts of Orissa. The total population of the present operational area is about 2.2 million. Out of them about 90% people is living Below Poverty Line (BPL) without access to their minimum survival needs. The area is backward with fragile communication, poor infrastructure and prone to several calamities including drought, flood and cyclone. More than 90% of the beneficiaries of the organisation belong to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes.
