Orissa State Volunteers and Social Workers Association

The association follows the ideology of promoting volunteerism, grassroot voluntary action and people-centred development with the twin concept of 'Development through Participation' and 'Development through Sustainability'. OSVSWA, as a change agent and in the social change process, has been consistently working since its inception with strict adherence to the principle and ideologies as thrust upon by the founders by initiating voluntary and social action based on community development.

We work with donors, advisors, local staff and volunteers to tackle social and rural development issues in the state of Odisha, giving support to the local communities through activities connected with their subsistence and livelihoods, with special dedication and commitment towards the underprivileged, marginalized and excluded sections of rural and tribal population.

OSVSWA has also been engaged with few burning social, economic, environmental and action for youth issues from time to time and active in related public policy and networking activities in association with various government, international and local partners.
