It is my privilege to present the Annual Report of Maa Ramachandi Foundation (MRF)) for the year 2018-19. MRF is a state level development organization working in the backward areas of all districts of Odisha on priority basis. It is a non-political, non-religious and non-profit development organization engaged in socio-economic upliftment of vulnerable sections of the society.

The year 2018-19 has been a fruitful year for MRF, during which it undertook several innovative and meaningful programmes for the target groups. The organization undertook some of its activities with the support of donor agency and some were implemented with the active participation and contribution of the beneficiaries.

While presenting this Annual Report, I express my sincere thanks to the Government & Non-Government organizations for their support to implement need based activities for the target communities. I also thank all the staff of MRF who worked tirelessly in the most difficult situations to make all our programmes success. I take this opportunity to acknowledge and greatly appreciate the support of the community both in terms of money and kind. I am indeed grateful to them for their active participation in the development process. The organization feels both humbled and honoured to receive several distinguished dignitaries who found time from their busy schedule to visit the organization. I am thankful to them for their valuable suggestion and encouragement.

The organization is on the path of progress in which our primary stakeholders are the people for whom we are working. We look forward to the wholehearted cooperation and solidarity of likeminded people and organizations to extend their helping hand and join our effort to serve the mankind.
