NIRDA - NATIONAL INTEGRATED RURAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY the Voluntary Organization was formed by a group of students of Community Development in the year 1987.
The Two Year Post-Graduate study on Community Development at Gandhigram Rural Institute [Deemed University] Gandhigram – Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu provided an opportunity to understand the rural communities in India and learn the techniques and strategies for rural development.
The Philosophy behind NIRDA’s work is that the people should actively participate in the developmental process that should contribute for the formation of socially just and equitable, economically development and progressive, politically participative and empowered and environmentally sustainable society.
The underprivileged, marginalized, vulnerable and minority communities should be empowered to achieve ‘this sustainable society’ by means of peaceful education, communication and motivation.
