Back Ground

Dr.Ambedkar Trustworthy for Educational and Rehabilitation Society ( DATER ) a non

governmental organization /not for profit organization was established in 1986 at
Narasaraopet of Guntur District in Andhra Pradesh.

The philosophy of the Society rests upon holistic approach wherein the rural people are
provided with unhindered access to skills in latest sustainable technologies using improved
tools and equipment for enhanced productivity and quality dimensions. Special emphasis is
laid on capacity building and income generating of those who are underprivileged,
downtrodden, women, unemployed youth, and other vulnerable sections of the rural
community. The prime focus is on smaller technologies, which are sustainable and rural
friendly so as to enable the rural poor earn sustainable incomes and lead quality of life, and
thus bring in confidence among them to trigger off to a greater heights. Every initiative of
the Institute represents a smaller step towards realizing Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of
making rural India the focal point of holistic development
It takes initiative for the Integrated Development that would arrive out of the felt needs of
the people. 92Gross Root Level Non Governmental Organisations are working under our
organisation.
DATAER implements Ten major programs, namely:

partnership with community organizations to promote appropriate alternatives to
mainstream agricultural processes that have been responsible for losses in farm
productivity and income, biodiversity, indigenous knowledge systems, and community
control over genetic resources.

2.Sustainable Community-Based Resource Management Program (SCBRMP)

SCBRMP enhances people's environmental awareness and builds their capacities in natural
resource utilization, protection, and management. Directed towards the formation of
community resource management structures, the program aims to promote participatory

resources including coastal and marine, forest and water resources. It also mobilizes
community actions to address resource destruction and depletion, biodiversity erosion and
unsustainable utilization of land and aquatic resources.

RLDP contributes to the development of sustainable livelihood systems and the promotion
of greater equity in rural areas by increasing incomes of rural households, both from farm
and off-farm sources. The program's key strategies revolve around facilitating the poor's
access to credit and market and developing economically viable and sustainable enterprises
