Since
1985
Samajik Seva Sadan, established in 1982, began its journey by setting up a non-formal school in a tribal hamlet under a KUSUM tree. Over the years, it Read more expanded its reach to nearby villages, offering non-formal education, vocational training, health activities, and income generation programs. Its core belief is in serving fellow beings as a form of worship, aiming to empower communities and make them self-reliant by fostering awareness and progress through collaborative efforts. Since 1983, Samajik Seva Sadan has built strong connections with communities, gaining insights into their challenges and needs. It gradually extended its services to cover the entire Sadar Block in Dhenkanal, focusing on education, poverty alleviation through savings and credit programs, healthcare, and community empowerment. Additionally, it expanded its operations to Sundargarh District, addressing the issues faced by tribal and Dalit communities through tailored programs such as empowerment initiatives for women and youth skill development. Through initiatives like self-help cooperatives, girls' hostels, and industrial training centres, it continues to make meaningful contributions to the socio-economic development of these areas.

Gangapur ITI Centre
After recognizing the migration of Adivasi and Dalit youth due to skill shortages, Samajik Seva Sadan responded to community requests by establishing the Gangpur Industrial Training Centre (GITC) in Subdega, Sundargarh in 2010. This initiative aimed to provide local youth with the necessary skills to secure employment in nearby industries, reducing the need for migration.
