Development Initiatives
AAPK promotes sustainable agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, and dairy projects, helping tribal families earn stable incomes and strengthen their economic independence. We also support education at all levels, offering scholarships, vocational training, and skill-building programs for youth and women.
Healthcare is another priority, with regular health camps, maternal and child care programs, sanitation awareness, and assistance in accessing government health schemes. To improve living conditions, we develop essential infrastructure such as roads, electricity, clean water, housing, and sanitation facilities.
