AID Saathis and Jeevansaathis

Prof. Dhanada Mishra of AID Orissa has been elected as our latest Saathi. Since he moved back to Orissa in 2003, Dhanada, along with Pete Bakos, has led AID's efforts in his home state. In his position as Principal of JITM in Gajapati district, he was instrumental in setting up an AID base along with Peter, Ravi and Aravinda, in the form of ARTRC (AID Rural Technology Resource Centre). His decision to work full-time for AID-India has the potential to take our efforts in Orissa to the next level in the areas of education, RTI, NREGA and rural technology. 

His involvement in AID since late 1999 and his various social activities even before that clearly show his constant drive to make a useful contribution to the society.

AID-Orissa's NREGA efforts in the past few months have unearthed much corruption and gobbling up of public funds in the employment guarantee program.
