Samarthan – Centre for Development Support is a leading non-profit organisation working in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. We promote participatory development and participatory governance through capacity building, direct field action, model building, research and advocacy.
We consistently promote civil society efforts and participatory development processes favouring the disadvantaged sections of society. Samarthan is currently linked to more than 200 NGOs and other strategic partners to demonstrate examples of participatory governance and thus amplify the voices of the poor, dalits, tribals and women in policy-making platforms. Through our interventions we attempt to serve as a bridge between the people and the governance institutions.
