About Pratyagra
Pratyagra is an e-learning initiative launched by Chhattisgarh Agricon Samiti, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering rural communities in Chhattisgarh, India. Our mission is to provide accessible, high-quality educational resources to individuals/beneficiaries/partners, especially those in remote areas, to help them acquire new skills, knowledge, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
The Roots of Pratyagra
Chhattisgarh Agricon Samiti is a non-governmental
organization, registered in 2007 under the Societies Registration Act (1973).
Over the years, we have touched the lives of over 1 million people across 16
districts of Chhattisgarh.
Nearly three-fourths of the families CAS works
with belong to Scheduled Tribes. CAS is continuously expanding its activities
across different areas of Chhattisgarh.
Focusing on the overall quality of life of the
beneficiaries, CAS extensively intervenes on major themes such as Sustainable
Agriculture and allied livelihood, Environment and Ecosystem and Community
Mental health & Psychosocial Support.
CAS harnesses the power of more than 10,000 youth volunteers across CG; local level influencers; and Information, communication & Technology methods to effectively implement all its projects and programs. Many of our interventions are backed by the concepts of social behavioral change communication.
In 2024, we embarked on the Pratyagra project to bridge this gap by leveraging the power of technology and the internet. Our goal is to create a comprehensive e-learning platform that offers a wide range of courses, tutorials, and educational materials tailored to the needs of rural communities.
