GENESIS
The Foundation of ICDA was laid down in the year 1995 by a group of researchers, who were out to conduct survey on child labor and marginalized women under the supervision of Dr. Jalaluddin  Ahemad Khan. They came in contact with the stark reality of wretched life of low class and castes children and women during the period of conducting survey. All of them were shocked and moved from within and mooted the idea of forming Organization to render services for the up-liftment of women, children and poor. After much deliberation the name of the Organization was christened as Institute for Communication & Development Action, in short-ICDA.
 
VISION
It sets a vision to facilitate activities that will enable the marginalized section of society to achieve enhanced socio-economic and personal status over the next decade. The vision may be summed up as socio-economic empowered society where people self sufficiency and self reliance is not mired by incapability, illiteracy and narrow-mindedness.
