About SUSRUSHA

The Susrusha, is a registered society working in the diverse field of socio-economic development and conservation of biodiversity in North East India since its inception. The organization was incorporated on 8th March, 2002 and registered under the Indian Societies Act, 1860. The organization works in a number of areas including Financial Inclusion of the poor and marginalized, Skill Development of youth for livelihoods, Promotion of Women Self Help Groups (SHG) and Farmer Producer Companies (FPC) and Conservation of Nature.

There are many pressing challenges that the North East India faces viz., isolation from the mainland India, inefficient physical and social infrastructure, recurring floods and riverbank erosion, low pace of industrial growth, territorial conflicts, insurgency and political issues, population influx from across the boarders etc. All these lead to an economically most disadvantaged region of the country. Except for Arunachal Pradesh, the real per capita income of the region is much below the all-India average per capita income. What is more, the region is far behind the rest of the country in terms of administrative, social and economic infrastructure, be it per capita power consumption, credit-deposit ratios, road and railway transport and so on.....
