What We Are
It was the idea of Sri Niranjan Mohanty, the founder secretary of SMSS,that a proper shelter should be built for the care and upbringing of the deprived children of Kandhamal inhabited by tribes.
Therefore his initial tireless efforts were concentrated
on building up an orphanage for these children.
In the vicinity of the orphanage are supporting institutions like shelter home for destitute women,school for girls,tailoring training center and creche for pre-school children.
