Org Synopsis 

Unnayan owes its origin to the inexorable spirit of a group of young social workers who formed this organization in late 80’s as a response to the development paradigm and who visualized a prejudice free society free from the web trap of poverty and hunger. It got registered under Societies Registration Act in the year 1990 and subsequently under Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) in 1998. It has also been registered under section 12(A) & 80(G) of Income Tax Act as well as under state and central Sales Tax Act.

Unnayan though in its organizational youth, has established itself as a leading NGO in the state of Orissa. Championing the cause of poverty in a state where more than half of the population is living below poverty line, its activities have created a process and established participatory development ethos in few rural and tribal pockets of seven districts of Orissa: - Mayurbhanj, Balasore, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapada, Ganjam, Puri and Cuttack.

The organization has a coordination office with working facilities at Bhubaneswar. Field offices are located at Tambakhuri in Mayurbhanj district and at Thailo in Jagatsinghpur district. A multi-disciplinary team of professionals and a cadre of committed volunteers are the organization’s major strengths. Over the years, the organization has gained meaningful experience of working simultaneously in diverse geographical areas and in collaboration with several partner agencies.
