Sustainable Options For Uplifting Livelihoods (SOUL)

With time, our country has experienced rapid growth; but, the growth has not been able to touch every level of the society correspondingly. IDS has been taking significant facilitation steps to reach out to these grass root level and help them to have a better life through their own development with their own effort and trying to sustain them. With the support of IGSSS (Indo-Global Social Service Society) that works for development, capacity building and enlightenment of the vulnerable communities across the country for their effective participation in development, IDS have been implementing the project “Sustainable Options For Uplifting Livelihoods (SOUL-II)” in Panchada and Tunpar Gram panchayat of Laxmipur Block in the Koraput district covering 15 villages and 1014 most needy marginalized families.

Project Significance:

Showing society that preventive approach and early intervention is a better alternative to l intervention for cure. One of our endeavors is encompassing broader social welfare, poverty reduction and other national development strategies, for building the care and protection of children.

Apart from those social issues, the project SOUL aims at‐
