The Social Revival Group of Urban Rural and Tribal (SROUT) is a grassroots non-governmental organization that works to promote and strengthen livelihoods, education and health for the needy rural & urban people in Chhattisgarh, India. SROUT began in 1999 in the Korba district of Chhattisgarh to be the implementing agency of a CARE India Integrated Nutrition and Health Program. As dreams of what Korba could be were shared with the CARE India staff, it became clear that a local organization was needed to make these visions of the future a reality. So SROUT was born and continues to this day to be involved in the development of the local community.
The organization was named the Social Revival Group of Urban Rural and Tribal because we are committed to working with local people, making no distinction based on where they reside or to which caste they belong. The Sanskrit quotation located on the bottom of the logo reads: things are achieved by doing, and not by desiring alone. This acts as the foundation of our organization and we strive to stay true to this in every aspect of our work.
We are privileged that our foundation was laid down by CARE-India, the World Largest International NGO. We have been mentored and guided by the experience officials of the CARE-India. Through INHP program we impacted approximately 2500 mothers and children in 80-100 villages every day then. Through this program we provided catalytic leadership in increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of the ICDS, which provides a basket of services at the grassroots and is, therefore easier to measure.
