About us
Established in 2000
Development Institute for Scientific Research, Health & Agriculture (DISHA) was started by a group of friends who had a childhood dream to bring a change in the lives of the poor and downtrodden.
Every year, the 1997 batch alumnus of Sunshine Mission School, Bhadrak gathered in Puri to discuss what they can do for the poor children unable to afford quality education. All they were waiting for was to complete their studies and start a job, which would give them enough to give back to the society. In 2007, they finally started an organisation and registered it by the name of Development Institute for Scientific Research, Health & Agriculture (DISHA).
DISHA provides quality education to underprivileged children and youth with a special focus on life skill education to poor youth. Besides basic education, DISHA also provides education in Information and Communication Technology, environment, health and agriculture. The aim is to give practical education and training to the children and youth, which will enable them to take advantage of the technological growth and contribute positively towards the society while they are still learning.
DISHA believes that education on subjects like ICT, environment, health and agriculture will enhance their knowledge, help them earn a decent livelihood and make them capable enough to solve their problems themselves.
