Message from the Chairman
There must be a profound reason why we from different levels strive for collective development. Our deep inters -connectedness and inter -dependence is no longer a philosophical exaggeration. Now there has been an emerging awareness that we all are organs of a gigantic body which we call human race. Unless the whole is flourished, parts can experience only momentary growth. This has been another year of sincere efforts to achieve that desired end; poverty-free just society. 2015-2016 was a phenomenal year of inspiring successes, in-depth insights and intense learning in the field of responsive governance, sustainable livelihoods and essential services, empowerment of women and underprivileged people. But one of the essential characteristics of dream is that it always stands ahead of us like the horizon. And it is good that it is always ahead because as we chase our dreams, we keep growing! This is an endless evolutionary process until we reach to perfection.
