BMSKSS is an organisation working in Deoria and Bahraich districts in Uttar Pradesh. They work in some of the most backward districts of Uttar Pradesh. They focus on community organization and empowerment of communities through participatory planning. Through their partnership with Rang De, they also started microcredit and livelihood support programs.
The area now known as the Deoria District was once a part of the Kosala Kingdom - a prime centre of ancient Aryan culture surrounded by the Himalayas in the north, the Shyandika river in the south. Despite the glorious past and the presence of industries, communities in Bahraich and Deoria face a severe end up credit crunch. People borrow from money lenders at exorbitant interest rates. BMSKSS has been able to work with deprived communities and offer them microcredit and livelihood support.
