Our Community Services

Empowerment of its periphery being its main motto, M/s. M.G. Mohanty has helped create informal associations of people who have come together to find ways to improve their living conditions. These groups are generally self-governed and peer-controlled. People of similar economic and social backgrounds are earmarked by the Firm creating solutions to resolve their issues and improve their living conditions. While self-help might imply a focus on the individual, one important characteristic of self-help groups is the idea of mutual support i.e, people helping each other.
