Sustainability/Empowerment/Withdrawal

Sambandh understands sustainability as survival with security and self-respect. It is essentially about the power of access to and control over resources- physical, material and mental. Thus our approach towards development is based on four inter-related components, viz.conscientization, institution building, transfer of knowledge, skill & technology and financial self-sufficiency
