The main objective of the society is to bring about comprehensive all-round development in the rural areas of the State. The schemes to be implemented by the Society are in addition to the normal schemes of the concerned government departments. Apart from implementing work programmes chalked out and approved for a particular financial year, the Society has been taking up deposit works of different departments under the state government.
In order to reach out to all children, in particular to those in difficult circumstances, the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India, has combined its existing child protection schemes under one centrally-sponsored scheme - the Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS). This Centrally-sponsored scheme brings together multiple vertical schemes under one comprehensive child protection programme and integrates interventions for protecting children and preventing harm. The state government signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Central Government on November 5, 2009 for the implementation of the ICPS.
