Established in 1983, PRADAN (Professional Assistance for Development Action) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting India’s rural poor, especially women. Operating in seven of the nation’s most impoverished states, PRADAN professionals actively engage with underprivileged communities, guiding them towards escaping poverty and leading lives of dignity.
PRADAN’s approach involves the promotion of Self-Help Groups, the development of locally relevant economic activities, mobilization of finances from government schemes, and the introduction of models aimed at improving the livelihoods of rural communities while ensuring the sustainability of their progress.
