To fill up the vacuum at community level (being the major development actor in the process) the NGO assists & mobilizes communities to get themselves organized at grassroots level into self managed, self reliant and sustainable organization capable of undertaking all the development initiatives through managing Natural, Human and Financial resources in a holistic manner.
To usher this level of participation, various outreach mechanisms, including village men and women organizations, hujras, forest owners and non-owners associations and CCBs and CBOs etc are used by establishing partnership.
