About Us
"Indian Orphans" is a Voluntary Organisation founded in the year 1992 to meet the challenges posed by the nature in one of the largest district of Andhra Pradesh State. It is an organisation founded to facilitate the process of development of villages. In its endeavour Indian Orphans has envisaged to promote responsible participation of people in their own development. To achieve this goal Indian Orphans has adopted the strategy of consultation which has facilitated its operation in making people think of their problems to find solutions and if possible, alternative possibilities to realize its goals. The area of operation chosen is DOULTHABAD MANDAL of Mahabubnagar District, Andhra Pradesh which is under developed and severely under exposed to any sort of developmental inputs, either from Government or least from any nongovernmental sector. Mahabubnagar Districts being virgin for voluntary action till late seventies, has gradually become experimental ground for participatory and partnership approaches. There is gradual increase in the awareness of people about their role for their development. Though the presence of voluntary agencies created an impact in certain parts of the district, the mandal chosen by Indian Orphans did not receive any active assistance from the voluntary sector. Indian Orphans is a result of concrete discussions held by few like minx led people who felt the need to organize the communities in a partnership model.
Theme:
Indian Orphans is committed to help the disadvantaged communities for whom the development is far away. To be specific we help the communities to help themselves. Bringing the self-reliance among the individuals and making the community, as self-sufficiency is our theme. To achieve this we are committed to take a multidimensional development approach with inclusive policy. To reach our objectives we are strategically moving towards integrated, comprehensive and sustainable development models. Our basic theme is to promote the rural basic health, supplementary education, alternative livelihoods, chemical free farming, thrift movement and enterprises in rural areas. Asset based community driven development (ABCD+) is our marked approach. Significantly promoting indigenous knowledge and participation and inclusive approaches are our chosen values to take our theme further.
