Adibasi Mangala Samiti

Adibasi Mangala Samiti has two main spots where we work from. Our head office is located in Atbalaminkapara, which is under the Banthapalli post office in Ganjam district. It’s a bit of a distance from our other branch. That one is over in Vill Khoksa, Mahulbhata, in the Nuapada district of Orissa. Having places in both Ganjam and Nuapada keeps us pretty busy traveling between them sometimes. We deal with a lot of local folks in these areas. The villages are where the real work happens, far away from the big city centers. In Ganjam, everyone knows the Banthapalli area, and we are tucked away in Atbalaminkapara. Over in Nuapada, the branch at Mahulbhata serves the people there. It’s not a fancy setup at either location. We just have what we need to get the job done. Often, we are out in the field rather than sitting in the office all day. The roads in Orissa can be a bit tricky depending on the season, especially during the rains when the paths get washed out, but we make it work. We’ve been established for a while now and the locals are familiar with us. We don’t use big words or have complicated goals. We just look at what’s in front of us in the village and try to handle it. It's a lot of ground to cover between the two districts, but someone has to do it. We don't have many employees, just dedicated people from the local community. It's tough but good.
