The importance of taking right decision at the right time with regard to education and career planning is taught to the adolescents.

There is continued inequality and vulnerability of women in all sectors like, economic, social, political, education, health care and legal. As women are oppressed in all sphere of life, they need to be empowered in all walks of life. Still DRC is implementing vocational training, providing health facilities & various awareness programme to women but plenty of needed area laying untouched for immediate intervention.
The health of the under privileged is gaining attention every where and there is a call for ending poverty & health for all every where. But this mission of development could not be achieved as there was lack of commitment to ensure coordinated efforts of health sector with related of all other sectors of development and their multi level convergence over the space. Looking at the issues DRC has implementing ACSM on TB, TB sensitization meeting for SHG / PRI members, RCH Prog., Awareness prog. On prevention of HIV & AIDS , campaign on Sanitation, Population Control, Leprosy eradication programme,, Pulse Polio programme, Cancer & Malaria awareness, Homeopathic & Ayurvedic treatment & promotion of AYUSH programme in his operational areas. Still effort is going on for increasing the health status of the people. 
Land and water are the two basic resources of any nation. Productive land is the sense of human sustenance & security. The future of the country & its teeming millions depend to a large extent on the conservation of land, water & environment. There is no doubt that we have been wasteful in the use of our land & water resources. Extensive deforestation due to increased demand for fuel, timbers & for bringing more land under cultivation are the contributory factors.
DRC has aimed at creating environmental awareness amongst school children, women & farmers through various action oriented interventions. All the activities are devised to address the local environmental issues like conservation of forest, control of environment for sustainable agriculture, water conservation etc. and much emphasis will be laid with utmost caution to motivate & derive better citizen’s action & interaction. The involvement & cooperation of the local authorities, rural animators & social workers will be sought at every stage of the campaign.
