What we do
(Past & Present Work)
Starting from a humble origin of working in a few villages in 1993, the Daudnagar Organization for Rural Development (DORD) has grown over the last 25 years into a widely recognized NGO in Bihar with working experience in all 38 Districts of Bihar State (India).
Currently working in Aurangabad, Kaimur, Rohtas, Patna and Gaya districts. Such growth would not have been possible without our accountability to our esteemed donors, our credibility with our valuable target groups and our zeal to produce tangible results in untreaded terrain.
We implemented a variety of programmes and projects during this eventful period. Starting from a MOHFW, GOI, supported project for MCH Care and Family Planning (1994-1996), we implemented HIV/AIDS (Prevention) Awareness Programme (1996-1999) supported by NGO AIDS CELL, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi and, “Empowerment of Rural Women with Focus on Family Welfare” (1996-2001) with the support from Population Foundation of India, New Delhi.Meanwhile, we took up an ambitious UNFPA aided ‘Support to Gender Issues’ project supported through MOHFW, GOI, for women’s empowerment – “Help Them To Help Themselves”. Starting in 2000, this 3-year project resulted in the identification of 50 villages of Obra Block under Aurangabad district for examining and looking after the interests of the rural child-bearing women, children and adolescent girls below the poverty line. The project objectives were to provide literacy, awareness and skill training for 3,000 illiterate or school dropout rural poor adolescent girls and to organize 3,000 rural poor women into thrift and credit based Self Help Groups utilizing group dynamics for income generation and economic empowerment. We addressed gender related issues to achieve equity between men and women, enabled women to attain their full potential, and involved women in policy and decision making processes and in all aspects of economic, political and cultural life as active participants and beneficiaries.
In 2000, we partnered with CARE-India to provide support services for strengthening the ICDS programme in the whole of 5 Blocks of Aurangabad District –Daudnagar, Deo, Madanpur, Kutumba and Nabinagar. In June, 2002, with the support of Bihar State AIDS Control Society, we started a Targeted Interventions Project entitled “Healthy Truckers: Healthy Highway Project” on G.T.Road (N.H.2) in Aurangabad district, Bihar.
We run Short Stay Home (SSH) at Daudnagar in Aurangabad district of Bihar since 2001, wherein women and girls in distress can find rehabilitation and reconciliation to their husband / in-laws. This home provides livelihood skill training options like incense sticks making and cutting and sewing. Approximately 172 women and girls have been rehabilitated and trained in different skills so far.
In a way, we completed a full circle of the life cycle approach in serving our society in 1996, when we started AAG (Adopt A Granny) and free Cataract Surgeries programmes, with the kind support from HelpAge International and HelpAge India respectively. To date, we have helped more than 2,523poor elderly persons.
In 2001, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, GoI, designated DORD a Mother NGO for undertaking RCH programmes through the field NGOs in the districts of Aurangabad and Kaimur (Bihar).We achieved a major success in the field of intervention for adolescents when in 2004, DORD was selected as one of its three partners by ICRW to work under its DISHA initiative.

In 2009, DORD was awarded the assignment of running a Women Helpline and a Short Stay Home at Aurangabad with the support of Bihar Government through Women Development Corporation, Bihar. After 2 years, we have transferred to District Administration after running 5 years.
