Multipurpose Development Society (MPDS) is a non-governmental, non-partisan, and non-religious organization established in 1998 AD in Dadeldhura striving to uplift the living standard of the disadvantaged groups, children, men and women to help them access equitable education, health, income generation opportunities and support them on conflict management. It is one of the ground-breaking initiatives in Dadeldhura in terms of a civil society movement and organization, and has been relentlessly working to promote and protect human rights at the all fronts of society. We are located at Sudurpashim province of Nepal, the most rural part of Nepal since past 25 years. MPDS is a NGO working in the diverse sector for the development of rural communities of Nepal.
