  • Chhattisgarh Samarthan for Participatory Development (CGSPD)

    District

    Raipur

    States

    Chhattisgarh

    The Samarthan Centre for Development Support is actively involved in Chhattisgarh, with a dedicated state office in Raipur since 2000. It aims to establish an independent programme management entity for Chhattisgarh, offering shared services while focusing on a diverse range of programs. These programmes, originating from units like CSAP and CEWASH, will benefit from strategic guidance as needed. The three centres will collaborate, drawing on each other's expertise, yet maintaining their independent management. As they evolve, they will operate as distinct entities under the Samarthan group, guided by a Governance unit led by the Executive Director/Vice President. This unit will provide strategic direction and governance support to the emerging independent entities within Samarthan.
