Indpur is a drought-prone mono cropped block. The nature of the soil is sandy gravel stones. Unfertile barren lands are here and a cent percent of our target villagers are located in such types of lands and environment.

Children, women, youth, small and marginal farmers are the main target groups of the organization.

All plans of development initiatives of the KSS&L have been conceived from the village level committees at the grassroots. In the project implementation, committee representation of members of the concerned committees at the grassroots level has ensured the people’s participation in decision making, project implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and follow-up.
