1. Integrated Development through Empowerment and Action (IDEA) in collaboration with CARITAS INDIA

Implementation of Activities as per the Goals and Objectives of the Project:

IDEA as a process towards holistic development approach. Seva Kendra Arunachal (East) has brought together major development players of the region. It provided a forum for sharing resources and personnel for integrated approach to development. For this purpose we have met with the various commissions to move ahead with Human Rights as the foundation for all our development interventions. We have trained the staff on specialized jobs for Field Work, Public Relations and Documentation. The construction plan of a Development Centre is initiated for speeding up development action and human resource mobilization.

The strategic plan was a prelude to this process. By formulating our vision and mission statement, we are emphatic on Democratic governance at the organization level, dissemination of information at the stakeholders’ level and building networks and partnerships for a concerted development action. We are resolved to help agents of development on the selection of focus group for the just sharing of resources and expertise.

Organizational set up of Seva Kendra received a boost with the appointment of a full time Director, fresh recruitment of trained and qualified staff, office set up and initiation of study of the systems and structures for a Democratic and human working conditions.
