Mount Valley Development Association (MVDA) is a civil society actor that works toward improving the quality of life of rural people by promoting livelihood initiatives along with early child care and girl child education. The idea of MVDA was inspired by Sarvodaya Movement and its approach in Himalayas. In early 90s poor economic conditions and slow pace of development in Bhilangna valley of Tehri Garhwal district compelled MVDA to work for the economic empowerment of the community. The association organizes women, youths, and children to form different community-based organizations to link with different government schemes such as bank linkages, and employment and livelihood schemes. It advocates for effective governance by empowering women to take active participation in the local self-governance. The organization formally came into existence in 1995 and registered under Society Registration Act 1860.
A twenty five year long journey and still counting, MVDA has always pioneered to design and deliver services to the local community.
Our vision is to be a catalyst of change in supporting the local communities towards eradication of poverty through sustainable livelihood initiatives, creation of a society firmly rooted on the principles of social harmony, justice and solidarity.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life of rural people-especially women and the disadvantaged people in Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. Our approach in MVDA is towards the fulfillment of our goals through interventions in education with special emphasis on girl child, natural resource management and by creating the accessibility to existing diversified livelihood options.
