Who we are
Community institutions are strongest when people can claim services, opportunity and voice.
Founded in Hamirpur in 1993, Sumitra Samajik Kalyan Sansthan is a registered society working with communities that face poverty, exclusion and limited access to public services.
Our programmes combine community mobilisation, capacity building, service linkages and local partnerships. Women, girls, small and marginal farmers, people living with or affected by HIV, migrant workers and other underserved groups remain central to this work.
