Details of Achievements :

Major Activities/Achievements : The package of AVARD’s activities has evolved through comprehensive consultations in its fora over the years, taking into account relevant factors such as (a) what members expect from AVARD, (b) what is AVARD’s own perception of its role and functions, and (c) in the current context and environment what is generally expected from a national ‘association’ (network) like AVARD? AVARD, as a national network, generally extends need-based professional and promotional assistance to its member organizations to enable them to improve their performance as well as to strengthen voluntary action in the process. However, it may also undertake directly a couple of field projects, in partnership with local voluntary agencies where feasible, to test innovative ideas and approaches and/or demonstrate and disseminate some thing unique and useful. Besides, it undertakes micro-planning, monitoring and evaluation, and pragmatic empirical studies. Its activities cover the whole of India with focus on the underdeveloped states/regions. AVARD is a well known open, secular, non-political, non-profit national association (network) of over 700 autonomous voluntary agencies (NGOs) engaged in rural development throughout India. AVARD was Promoted in 1958 by a group of freedom fighters and eminent national leaders who had renounced power/electoral politics and stayed put in people’s action to rebuild India during the post-independence period. They include Smt. Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay , Shri Jayaprakash Narayan (JP), Shri Annasaheb Sahasrbudhe, Shri Dharampal and Shri L.C. Jain. Three of them, JP, Kamaladevi and Jain have received Magsaysay Award as well as the highest civilian awards of Government of India – Bharat Ratna, Padma Vibushan and Padma Vibhushan respectively. AVARD was privileged to have JP as its President for about two decades; his inspiring leadership proved a pillar of strength and gave tremendous fillip to voluntary action throughout the country.
