YSD shall aim to create a participatory dialogic space between the citizen and the government to strengthen social justice processes, to enhance service provision, policy making, and empathetic and responsive governance locally and at the state level in Odisha.

We believe that an aware citizenry and responsive government working together will strengthen the eco-system for a life with dignity to all. It starts with expediting the processes of ensuring social protection and basic services – like water, sanitation, housing, health, and education for the most vulnerable sections –that are pivotal for a life with dignity.
