About Pragati Koraput

Pragati Koraput, registered under the Societies Registration Act 1860 has been working for the socio-economic well-being of forest-dependent communities, small and marginal farmers, women-headed and migrant households in the most fragile landscape of Odisha, India. Our efforts evolve around principles of conservation, utilization, and management of natural resources, reviving and rebuilding sustainable agriculture practices in order to achieve the vision of a society free from hunger with agroecological restoration. Pragati is responding to the issues of climate change and humanitarian crises by building the capacities of communities and ecosystems. Empowerment of women and working through farmers’ collectives are the key strategies adopted for sustainability and community ownership. The present operational areas of Pragati span over 14 blocks of Koraput District of South Odisha reaching out to the bottom of the pyramid population. Our collaboration with Government, Research Institutions, National and International Donors, and Civil Society Networks has strengthened our efforts for the realization of larger societal goals.
