Mission
To educate the poorest of the poor tribal community, living in the interior and inaccessible habitations, to make them aware of the opportunities present in every walk of life and consciously move towards self-reliance.

Our Approach

CCN as a development organization has always believed in involvement of professionals for development of community through organizing people. Building and strengthening people’s institutions is a powerful tool for achieving sustainable change. CCN believes that while empowering the tribal community towards self-reliance, a long-term presence of professionals for community organization, transfer of skills, technical competence and building linkages with various development partners is essential. CCN focuses on  building local community organizations through setting up teams of committed tribal youth called Community Coordination Teams (CCTs). It grooms these teams continuously to build them to become independent entities over a period of time to implement various programs. Only an integrated approach to development can bring a sustainable change in an area that is so interior and community that is so primitive, where the government delivery systems are not reaching effectively. Therefore the focus of CCN is on three major areas viz., education, health and livelihoods. Interventions in these arenas are carried out simultaneously for a given community.
