What They Said About DSS

“ I have immense pleasure in expressing my deep sense of gratitude and sincere thanks to the organization DARABAR SAHITYA SANSAD (DSS), Khurda, Odisha for providing an opportunity to learn about farmer producer company. I find words inadequate to express our immense gratitude to Mr. Kedareshwar Choudhary, Director (Programmer’s), Team Leader and my Reporting officer who facilitated our accommodation and made me to learn all the MTS components. DSS provided good facility to learn rural development concept.

In order to complete field work successfully, I would like to present special thanks to DSS staff and all farmer producer company Members and villagers who provided their valuable time and made our task easier. ”

“ DSS is a very good organization to learn about Rural Development. They have varied range of activities and projects from handicrafts, to agriculture to micro-finance to migration. All the projects look at holistic development of Odisha and the villages in Khurda. They have field partnership with very prestigious organisations like Rang De, Govt agencies etc. I was particularly impressed with their work in organic farming and disaster management which are both needed in Orissa. Its a good organization to be a part of as they handle CSR activities for several well renowned corporates. My experience was personally great. As students from XIMB we were well taken care of. The staff were very nice to us and showed us the village. I had a wonderful time both in terms of learning and life experience. ”
