Introduction

Welcome To OSVSWA - INDIA

The Orissa State Volunteers and Social Workers Association (OSVSWA - INDIA) was established in 1980 by a group of distinguished freedom fighters, social workers, and social activists, initiating a movement to promote volunteerism and social action based on the Gandhian philosophy of rural development to create a self-dependent rural society.
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 - INDIA 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.
