Three Decades of Grassroots Work
SEEDS is a registered non-profit organisation based in Kadiri, Andhra Pradesh, established in 1993 by a group of development practitioners. From the outset, its work has centred on neglected, deprived and distressed communities — with a particular focus on vulnerable and needy families across both rural and urban areas. That focus has carried the organisation through three decades of grassroots work.
