Information has been collected from various sources, namely directories, newsletters, Internet, proforma filled in by organizations, telephonic verification, letter heads, etc. However, NIPCCD does not take any responsibility for any error that may in advertently have crept in. The address of offices of organizations, telephone numbers, e-mail IDs, activities, etc. change from time to time, hence NIPCCD may not be held liable for any incorrect information included in the Directory. Foreword Voluntary organizations play a very important role in society. Social development has been ranked high on the priority list of Government programmes since Independence, and voluntary organizations have been equal partners in accelerating the pace of development. Being in close proximity to the community, voluntary organizations have done pioneering work in many areas, rendered services, high lighted many social problems, undertaken advocacy, and lobbied for the rights of the under privileged. To showcase the work of voluntary organizations, a Project was undertaken by Documentation Centre for Women and Child (DCWC), NIPCCD to bring out a series of Directories of Voluntary Organizations working in areas, namely health; nutrition; child welfare; social welfare; women welfare; destitute children, including adoption and street children; child labour; social defence, including trafficking; funding organizations; human development and education; scheduled castes/ scheduled tribes; and rural development. The Directories give detailed information about organizations and their activities, including postal address, telephone, fax, website, e-mail address, and key words indicating their programmes and activities. The present document covers organizations working in the field of social welfare. For the convenience of users, organizations in the Directory have been arranged alphabetically state-wise, and an Index provided to facilitate retrieval. I would like to express my gratitude to all the organizations that have extended their full cooperation and shared the relevant information. Without their support it would not have been possible to bring out this compilation. My gratitude also extends to all persons from NIPCCD and its Regional Centres, and all those who have cooperated so willingly in sharing information with us. It is hoped that this document would be useful to all stakeholders working for the empowerment of vulnerable sections. (A. K.
