Himalayan Community Resource Development Centre (HCRDC), Kalikot is an independent, non governmental, non for profit making, equal opportunity organization founded with the prime aim of socio-economic development of pro-poor and women, marginalized and excluded groups and communities in the district and the nation as a whole. It is being run and promoted by well qualified, experienced, adroit and highly devoted members from different backgrounds promising to develop the rural areas and population through maximum utilization of locally available resources. Indeed, it is the platform for likeminded people who have their interest on rural development.
