OUR HISTORY

A New Leaf - 2001 TO 2010

National Integrated Empowerment Programme (NIEP) : The concept became crystallized and operational during 2002-2003 by integrating NSPs, DSF and new Lumpsum Scholarship Programmes. It aimed at an integrated impact of IGSSS efforts for the empowerment of marginalized communities. IGSSS by now had started moving towards a rights-based approach in all its programmes.

The year 2004-05 saw changes in the organizational structure and there was a revision of Memorandum of Association and Rules and Regulations of the Society. IGSSS changed its name to Indo-Global Social Service Society recognizing the relationship with other global donors along with the partnership with Misereor. Empowerment being the focus IGSSS started working on Five Core Issues - Sustainable Livelihood, Human Rights, Governance, Health and Disaster Mitigation.
