For few individuals the source occurs from their professional status, the bitter experiences happened in their life’s etc., IRDRP uphold all these justifications through its team, internalizations, experiences, professionalism are the back forces for the origin of IRDRP, with their life backgrounds, professional status and more than 16 years of experiences in developing agencies, a team of three committed health professionals formulated IRDRP as the social service group in December 1989. It has been registered as the charitable Trust under Indian Trust Act 1961. After three years devoted work, it has been registered under Indian Foreign Contribution Regulation act in the year 1992.The main aim of IRDRP is to commit for the development of the vulnerable and to those who are not access to the life opportunities for their livelihoods.
