Rural Development Society

The Rural Development Society was established in 1977 under the patronage of renowned social worker Late Rt. Rev. Santosh Kumar Kisku, Bishop of the Diocese of Durgapur, Church of North India. Our mission is to empower and uplift the socio-economically disadvantaged communities in rural areas.

We focus on integrated development programs in the Chhotonagpur region, aiming to mainstream the rural socio-culturally oppressed and economically exploited masses through a people's participatory approach.

Starting in the remote areas of Bankura district, West Bengal, we have expanded our operations to Jharkhand and Orissa. Today, our initiatives impact over 50,000 rural and underprivileged individuals.
