Creating Dignified Life for the Tribes
Enabling Freedom of Life Choices
The Chhotanagpur Plateau, spanning Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and West Bengal, is home to diverse tribal communities facing economic hardships, limited education and healthcare, and high migration. Despite rich natural resources, over 40% live below the poverty line, relying on vulnerable agriculture due to erratic monsoons and inadequate irrigation. Lack of land rights, fair wages, and access to welfare schemes further deepen their struggles.

At Sarvodaya Social Development Foundation (SSDF), we don’t just provide aid—we empower communities to build a self-sustaining future. Here’s what makes us different
We work with the communities, not just for them. Our Village-Level Institutions (VLIs) ensure long-term grassroots participation and leadership.
Instead of temporary assistance, we help communities maximize their natural resources, enhance incomes, and create lasting economic resilience.
Beyond income generation, we enable access to essential services like education, healthcare, financial inclusion, and local governance, ensuring a well-rounded approach to dignity and prosperity.
We advocate for land rights, fair wages, and government entitlements, ensuring that indigenous communities receive what they rightfully deserve.
