SUPPORT

The foundation stone of SUPPORT was laid in the year 1998 under the dynamic leadership of Mr. Bhawani Shankar Gupta, Secretary cum CEO of SUPPORT. After passing out from Xavier Institute of Social Service (XISS), Ranchi Shri Gupta had worked for Holy Cross Social Service Center for more than a decade in planning and implementation of different projects and programmes. To further harness his skill sets and long experience, he established SUPPORT with the assistance from other like-minded social activists and professionals from varied streams.

The mission of SUPPORT is to organize and empower the marginalized section of the society, through Self Help initiative and enable them to manage their own economic, social, educational, political affairs in an ethical and sustainable manner. SUPPORT firmly believes in the potentials and capabilities of the marginalized section and endeavors to work with them for realizing and optimally utilizing their potential for holistic development.
