What We Are
The National Youth Service Action and Social Development Research Institute (NYSASDRI) is a non-profit, Non-Governmental organization based in Odisha, India. It aims at facilitating the establishment of a just and healthy society in which the poorest of the poor have the power to attain a better quality of life with equal access to, and control over resources. Since its inception in 1973, NYSASDRI has been committed to the implementation of social justice and the development of marginalized sections of society. It operates in the most remote and inaccessible areas of Central Odisha, where the area is tribally dominated and about 80% of the households living below the poverty line. Its development initiatives cover more than 5.2 million underprivileged persons, including women, children, small farmers, rural artisans, the elderly, the disabled, and the destitute.

NYSASDRI has developed an integrated strategy by combining direct service delivery with development support activities like research, advocacy and networking. With over 140 highly skilled human resources, NYSASDRI runs a number of programs. In remote areas with rural and tribal communities, it initiates sustainable socioeconomic development programmes, sets-up structures to ensure safe drinking water, provides sexual & reproductive health education as well as other non-formal education to girls, ensures basic health needs, organizes income generation through micro-credit, offers disaster management and mitigation, and restores eyesight of the elderly and children concerned through Kalinga Eye Hospital & Research Centre (KEHRC). NYSASDRI also provides elderly care, support to people with disabilities, assistance for people with HIV/AIDS, malaria-prevention, local agricultural development, village infrastructure development and human rights promotion.
