First Published Date 19th June 2022

Multipurpose Development Society (MPDS) is a non-governmental, non-partisan, and nonprofit making organization established in 1998 AD by a group of youth professionals having keen spread and profound experience in community development activities, which strives to uplift the living standard of underprivileged groups, children, men, and women to help them access opportunities in Equitable Education, Agriculture, Health and Income Generation. 

It aims to create a creative, healthy, equitable, and inclusive society on the basis of social inclusion and institutionalize the concept of a participatory approach for socio-economic development of grassroots communities; and target as its beneficiaries those groups of people who are socio-economically and politically neglected and excluded. A realistic mix of service delivery towards critical minimum basic needs is also pursued through self-help development.

It works on various holistic components: (a) Organizational development and capacity development; (b) Infrastructure and WASH; (c) Food Security, and Climate-smart agriculture; (d) Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management(e) Income generation and entrepreneurship Development;(f) Sustainable Livelihood and Technology Transfer (g) Women’s Empowerment, Quality Education, Rights, and Health improvements and (h) Health and Nutrition. Through various developmental projects, MPDS’ outreach increased to 9 districts of sudurpashim in the past 22 years.

MPDS is devoting its efforts to fulfilling its commitment through a partnership with various local, national as well as international agencies, networks, and alliances. MPDS believes that social transformation is only possible through the joint endeavor from all the concerned actors of the society.

Our efforts are strengthened by our well-qualified and experienced staff members, and connection with the community, and hence, we have been successful in developing sustained partnership with various development partners implementing various projects/programs.  MPDS is currently going to implement a Home Grown School Meals (HGSM) program in partnership with Mercy Corps Nepal.
