About DISHA
A few social activists, environmentalists, public health experts and human rights activists came together in 1995, to work on environmental and related social issues. This group eventually became the Society for Direct Initiative for Social and Health Action, popularly known as DISHA.
In the course of last 25 years, the Society for Direct Initiative for Social and Health Action (DISHA) has actively worked on different issues pertaining to environment and human rights—including municipal waste management, bio-medical waste management, industrial pollution, toxicity, coastal environment, forest, biodiversity, conservation of wetland and water bodies and other conservation issues.Â
During the last decade, our work has majorly included the rights and livelihood of the fishing community, nature-oriented agriculture, creation of Self-help Groups (SHGs) and rural Cooperatives, Child rights and Child development.
