About Us
The 'Centre for the Study of Primitive Cultures, Research, and Human Development (Adim Sanskriti Abhyas Sanshodhan va Manav Vikas Kendra) —an independent social organization—was established in 2011 with the primary objective of conducting in-depth studies on the current status of marginalized and exploited sections of society, implementing concrete action plans based on research findings, and accelerating sustainable social development. The organization operates primarily across the rural, urban, and tribal regions of Maharashtra, working toward the economic, social, political, educational, and health-related empowerment of tribal communities, Dalits, women, and other marginalized or exploited groups. In this capacity, the organization consistently and successfully carries out various research-based and constructive initiatives in areas such as cultural preservation, adult literacy, quality skill-based education and training, healthcare, environmental conservation, and the creation of sustainable employment opportunities.
Vision / Our Dream
To achieve the holistic empowerment of the marginalized and exploited sections of society, ensure they have equal opportunities for development, and build an egalitarian society.
Mission
To conduct in-depth research on the current situation of marginalized and oppressed social groups; to implement constructive programs for them in the areas of education, health, employment, and the environment; and to enhance the capabilities of these social groups.
Partnership and Multi-level Advocacy – We partner with civil society organizations to address social issues faced by citizens, and we support advocacy efforts at the local, district, state, and national levels.
Community-level Intervention – We believe in community-level interventions. We are convinced that the most accurate analysis of social problems can only come from the people who are directly affected by them.
Action-oriented Research – While 'Adim's' work encompasses various projects and initiatives, the organization has been engaged in systematic 'action-oriented research' since its inception—that is, research that culminates in specific advocacy and concrete action.
