About This Cause
The Organization came into existence in the year 1999-2000. A group of social workers, having a similar mindset and ideology started this. These people were actively working with different professional Organizations/ groups in different parts of Odisha. The motivation was to respond to the local needs in an effective way, so as to justify the optimum degree of achievements and results with satisfying levels of performance. It was somehow not possible while working sporadically in different groups. In the initial 3-4 years, our activities were more focused on responding to the ‘disasters’ in the coastal districts of Odisha. At the same time, the other thrust area was to build the capacity of the community on Risk Reduction aspects. We also have been involved in advocacy issues related to DRR with State processes. By the end of year 2005, GSP had already developed its volunteer bases in different parts of Odisha, started operating on its thematic areas and expertise. We have started operating with ‘empowerment’ and ‘right based approach’ to issues. Sustainable eco-system development, conservation of bio-diversity, building capacity of the communities, facilitating good governance processes were some of the common agendas for us in all our operational areas and focus group. By the end of 2010, our activities were more streamlined and professional. By that time our work has already been expanded to other parts of Odisha, with diversified clientele groups. We also have been involved in different local as well as national level study and research activities on our core thematic areas.
