WHAT WE DO
FOUNDER OF THE ORGANIZATION
Karra Society for Rural Action (KSRA) was established in the year 1985 with a noble aim of uplifting socially downtrodden communities, specifically tribal communities. The organization was promoted by a group of young social workers and intellectuals, highly committed, and deeply involved in the development of the vulnerable in rural and urban areas.
Late Prof. Syed Afzal Ahmed was the founder of Karra Society for Rural Action, Ranchi. He started his professional career as a Project Officer and later as a Faculty Member at Adult Education Department of Xavier Institute of Social Service (XISS), Ranchi, 1978-86. His aim was to enhance the most deprived community members to the level of economic and social self-reliance through various integrated development initiatives. During his tenure he got attached to the local community and felt the need to cater to them and thus a thought was developed. As a result, Karra Society for Rural Action was established with the noble aim of uplifting socially and economically downtrodden communities belonging to both rural and urban areas including the Schedule Tribe, Schedule Cast, adolescent girls, women, and children.
