Institute of Development Alternatives (IDEAL)

Institute of Development Alternatives (IDEAL) was incepted in 2006 at Bhubaneswar by a group of experienced social workers with a raw motivation of contributing in the development of the society particularly addressing the key issues hindering the developmental process of the society. Humble beginning as it had, it was engaged in making the people around more empowered by creating awareness on issues pertaining to their livelihood, health and social rights during its nascent days. Initially, these activities were carried out with the funds generated through informal donation. Later on, the organization started receiving grants-in-aid from government to intensify the programmes. As it grew up with its experience and acquired knowledge, the outfit gradually expanded in terms of activity as well as locale.
