Profile of Social Service Centre, Eluru Diocese

In the realm of development, especially in rural areas, institutions (NGOs) play crucial role in view of their proximity to the public and also their capacity to understand the grass-root problems. Further, one of the characteristic features of Indian NGOs was the welfare gesture towards weaker sections that includes the destitute and the poor. Though plethora of institutions are operating in rural and urban areas of India, only few could make it big enough to reach the needy in view of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the activities undertaken by them. One such institution is Social Service Centre operating in Andhra Pradesh with its headquarters in Eluru- the headquarter town of West Godavari district. The District of West Godavari is divided into three Districts, namely; Eluru District, West Godavari District and East Godavari District. Konaseema region is made into a new district with the name Dr. Br. Ambedkar Konaseema district. Thus, the jurisdiction of the diocese of Eluru is spread over four revenue districts of the state of Andhra Pradesh.
