RURAL PEOPLE'S WELFARE ORGANISATION

In 1986 a group of like minded youth formed a group for rural and indigenous people for the welfare of indigenous communities and rural people and formally registered our association in 1986. Subsequently in 2000 the service approach has started drifting towards welfare of the indigenous community welfare in North Tamil Nadu. And the Irula indigenous people being in the lower rung among indigenous communities socially, economically and educationally we started concentrating on them. During this period we have got permission to receive foreign funds and periodically renewed and valid up to 30th September, 2028. We also got tax exemption from the government. Since 2000 we have been serving Irula community people to till date. Initially we concentrated on awareness generation and then providing education to the students to the Irula community students. Now we have opened the third field of Environment with reference to gathering non-timber forest products. We have generated awareness of dwindling of density of the forest and ways to increase the density of the forest. We have introduced micro level activities regarding this.
