About Us

Introduction

Pragathi was registered in 1991 under Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Areas) Public Societies Registration Act, 1350 Fasli (Act I of 1350 F.) Hyderabad. When Pragathi began operations during the early 1990s, 'service' to the marginalized and oppressed communities was at the core of all initiatives. However, experiences of intimate relationships with the community and with the changing socio - economic and political orders, it was realized that any attempt towards social change, if they have to sustain, have to be dealt with Rights Based Approach.

Pragathi focused its attention primarily on the oppressed and deprived sections. Issues of women, children, disabled, farmers, dalit and tribal are of central concern. Natural Resource Management, Education, Health, Sustainable Agriculture and Micro - finance remain the vital aspects where Pragathi has made significant contributions. Pragathi is currently operating in Warangal district of Andhra Pradesh, India.

Strategy

When Pragathi began operations during the early 1990s, 'service' to the marginalized and oppressed communities was at the core of all initiatives.

However, experiences of intimate relationships with the community and with the changing socio-economic and political orders, it was realized that any attempt towards social change, if they have to sustain, have to be dealt with Rights Based Approach.
