It is a matter of appreciation that the programmes & activities implemented and being implemented by Abhinav kala Kendra, Ranchi, Jharkhand has been able to bring the organization more closely and acceptable to the society up to desired level. We would feel happy to share its struggle for the benefit of vulnerable section of the society. Nineteen years back i.e. since 1990 this agency kindled light to kick out darkness from the life of the rural and urban poor. It choose to use that light to create peace, love and solidarity in the society through providing awareness building programmes regarding education, health and hygiene, environment protection and pollution control, abolitions of child labor, savings, women empowerment, etc. to the poor to kick out their darkness. Since 1990 onwards the organization have launched many programmes in health, education, environment promotion and protection, women empowerment, economic sectors for the upliftment of the socio-economic condition of the poor residing in the urban and rural areas & we have seen success too but still that very moment we felt that the flame of our light was not too bright. Although tremendous changes in the society have been brought due to which we are receiving constructive feedback. Owing to our many fold acts, the programme attracted the moral supports of the poor hoi polloi, which are our major achievements. But since last three years AKK is trying to adopt scientific approaches and methodical management inputs to complement the desire to ensure that the changes are qualitative and long lasting Development Agenda for the Ranchi District of Jharkhand. AKK is operational at the grass-root level in the Ranchi District of Jharkhand, which is distinct on the basis of land geographies and demographic characteristics.
