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 guidance
of Dr. Jalaluddin A. Khan. They came in contact with the stark reality of wretched
live of low class and castes children and women during the period of
their survey. All of them were shocked & 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 and Development Action, in
short ICDA. |

ICDA as a secular socio-economic
organization has
undertaken to itself the task of enabling the rural poor
constituting of small and Marginal Farmers , the landless ,
Dalits, Tribal people, Fisher Folk , Unemployed women, Men ,and
Youth to move towards sustainable development by cultivating in
them necessary skill in areas that directly affect their
standard and quality of life. Furthermore , ICDA also works for the development of urban
marginalized women , children, old and disabled.It sets a
vision to facilitate activities that will enable the above
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's self-sufficiency and self reliance is not mired
by incapability illiteracy and narrow-minded ness. |
