Who We Are
UDAAN Society was formed in year 2004 when some young social workers working to eradicate Polio thought to work on alternative strategies, apart from community mobilization for the eradication of Polio.
The planning was to work upon deep rooted factor and causes for any problem rather than problem itself. For the purpose a banner named UDAAN (Unified Development Association for the Amelioration of Neglected) was formed and got registered on dated 13/12/2004.
Though the organization was registered by young social workers having competencies related to social work, financial administration, human resource management, agriculture, law, public administration etc. with doctorate and Master degrees in their relevant fields, we got patronage of academicians, professionals and governmental and non governmental officials from all walk of life.
