SPD, established in 1994, is a Dehradun based non-profit organization registered under the Societies Registration Act 1860 and under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) [Reg. No. : 347900052] with Ministry of Home affairs, Government of India.
We started our operations with strong felt need of taking proactive steps for bio-diversity conservation. It was imperative for us to work towards reducing the competitive interaction between the community and forests, keeping in mind the dependence of local communities on forests for centuries for subsistence living. Existence of distorted and redundant traditions and a severe division of work and attitude between male and female and complete absence of basic health services, especially for the rural women has made us to work in health sector to increase the access of communities towards health services and improve their health seeking behaviour.
This has been made possible with the team of committed professionals and social workers, who have given expression to our vision and drive through voluntary action to promote self-reliance through sustainable development for the Himalayan community.
We took upon ourselves the task of playing a proactive role in order to make life, and lives better through medical care, health education, community outreach, livelihood development, agriculture, training and technical assistance for rural communities living in hills and the urban poor.
We are today a dynamic institution working for holistic and integrated development of hills and its inhabitants. Over the period of last fifteen years SPD has successfully implemented a wide range of projects.
If you feel that you have what it takes to make a difference and there is a burning desire to give shape to your vision, then let us know. Be part of the change, be that change. Send us a message at SPD Email or alternatively give us a call. We would love to hear from you.
