Our Dream (Vision) is a peaceful world where there is love, respect and dignity for all. The path (Mission) we have taken is to work towards sustainable and holistic development with rural and poor, voiceless communities mainly in the northeast.


We work secularly with all communities, but focus our work with indigenous people, the minorities and the landless or internally displaced people. Women’s empowerment has remained a focus for long. We work with people and not for them. The project (Mental Illness Treatment Alliance) since 2016 has evolved into a self-sustaining project and expanded to 11 districts of Assam today through partner NGOs. We train entrepreneurs in villages on silk rearing, poultry, piggery etc. the ant ’s work with women, of engaging them as Self – Help Groups and of strengthening their capacity for social action, has resulted in a district level programme against Domestic Violence for the past 4 years. We also run the Institute for Development Action (IDeA) to help train other NGOs in the northeast part of India. This Institute runs capacity building programmes for NGO personnel and also provides long-term support for a carefully selected cohort of around 10 NGOs from Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya and Nagaland each year. the ant ’s Education programme started as a response to the frequent witch-hunting practice and was aimed at developing a scientific temperament in society. Our involvement with children has also brought Ultimate Frisbee to the area, which is a unique team sport that builds self-discipline, mindfulness, gender awareness and physical fitness in more than 2,000 children of the Chirang District.
