Constraints and Challenges
Being a premiere organization known for its presence and contribution among the urban poor in Central and East Delhi districts, the demand for more work and commitment is ever expanding.
However, the limitations are too many and funding is one of the most important constraints in taking any work consistently. All government assistance are project time bound and project based and they are always not consistent to the field level requirements.
The other important constraint of government assistance is not sustainable for a longer period and they ceases to exist with financial year, change of governments and with programme priorities.
