We have tried to strengthen the programs carried out during first decade with renewed vigor and enthusiasm through the second decade of the organization. Complete transparency in working of the organization has been our guiding principle. It has also been our effort to critically appraise and analyze the achievements each year and identify new areas of challenges so as to bring about the necessary changes where necessary. Our people are still living with age-old beliefs and superstitions. This requires building of a scientific temper and a modern outlook on life amongst the communities. It needs sometimes only but minor adjustments in attitude and thought-process of a few to bring about substantial and positive changes in raising the social and economic standard of living of the entire community. There was all around havoc in Gandevi Taluka following heavy rains during last monsoon. The flood waters of swollen Ambica river caused lot of destruction in surrounding villages. All possible help was rendered with co- operation from everyone.
