About DISHA
In 1995, a few social activists, environmentalists, public health experts and human rights activists came together 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.
During the last 30 years, DISHA has worked on urgent environmental concerns—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 livelihood and related issues, including the rights and livelihood of the small-scale fishing community, agroecology and integrated agriculture, creation of community collectives, child rights and child development.
